Hey guys, so I’ve been meaning to make a build thread for years now but never actually put forth the effort in doing so because I felt it'd be pointless.
Well I figured I'll start one anyways seeing as when I first got mine I searched all over for other 2nd gen Altimas for ideas and inspiration and didn't get enough. So, with my build thread, I hope to not only motivate those who were just like me and wanted some ideas, but to also give others a new 2nd gen to look at differently.
Bear with me as I have hundreds of pictures and will be trying my best to upload them and keep you guys updated to date!
