FS: Gen1 Maxima front bumper cover -- good --, $40

Buy it, sell it, negotiate, haggle, drag it out from under the workbench or behind the garage and make it someone else's problem!

FS: Gen1 Maxima front bumper cover -- good --, $40

On my way back north, I stopped at the PDX U-Pull-It on Foster & 111th (just up the street from where I used to live when I bought my original '82 Wagon). No Nissan diesels in the yard but I did score a very nice pair of brown plaid bucket seats from an '85 720 ST that will fit the brown interiour in the "Arlington Truck" gasser-to-SD conversion.

Looks like a Toyota PU seat in there now, doesn't bolt in. A pair of bolt-in buckets in brown was a steal at $50 for the pair. There is a nice set of re-upholstered buckets in an '83 720 4x4 too, that I was going to buy until I found the brown ones. The '83's are heavy blue vinyl and in good shape -- some minor cracking on the drivers' side and it has a seat cover on it that it doesn't really need.

Bought the screw jack and jack mount from the '85 as well, and some nice front corner lamps that someone had thoughtfully already pulled and left on the front floor. And the Ign switch of course. Had AT and factory tach, map pockets on the doors and "carpeted" door panels. Sunroof. Tilt column. It was quite a piece when it was new. 137k miles -- makes me wonder how it ended up on the JY that way.

Then I found a nice '84 Maxima, silver/grey, L24E, sunroof, MT-5 (console broken), only dents on it were from forklifting it in place (grrrrrrr) and NO rust. Seems someone never changed the coolant and it rusted out the head gasket, radiator, heater core, etc. 167k miles. Sad. Bought the RR taillight and a grey passenger visor (since my "Autoworks Sedan" needs them),. Got the LF corner lamp because it is "perfect", and took 40 minutes to pull of the only non-damaged front bumper cover I've ever seen in a JY. It has some weathering but no cracking or tears. No pics yet, I just got home and it's dark. It comes with the turn signal lenses (non-cracked) but not the turn signal sockets.

I paid $30 for it flat rate, plus $5 core (core charge? On a plastic bumper cover??) plus $4 "environmental fee" (things have changed at this chain, and not for the better, since I've left), so I'm into it for almost $40. Sell at cost, for someone who needs it. It would be hard to ship, because it's floppy and would need a box, and I'd probably have to build a box for it, but if someone wants to pay for my time to do that, I'll do it. Just could not let it go to the crusher.

That Sedan has very nice seats, perfect grey door panels, dash is cracked. Factory tach of course. Three alloys. No trunk lock, someone punched it. OEM radio was there. No OD switch of course ;) Good windshield (are you listening, Mark?). Rear bumper no good. LR taillight "perfect".

I hope one of you Portland-area natives goes and strips that one. I had a full load with the two 720 seats and bumper cover and other misc. -- I made four trips out the Wagon to cart it all off!
