Recently got in an accident in my 2002 high-mileage Nissan Pathfinder and to my surprise.. the insurance company decided to not declare it as a total loss. Since it's simply a vehicle I use to haul my dirt bikes around, I don't really care enough to pay the $6,000 I was quoted to get the front-end looking perfect. I wanted to challenge myself and see if I can get this SUV safely back on the road for under $750 by doing majority of the repairs myself. Hopefully the suspension alignment goes well so I can have enough room in the budget to replace the hood!
