I have a 1990 90 series, 4.5 efi, 8 seat GXL. Has 2" lift, stock tyres n rims. Its duel fuel and also has a bumper mounted swing away tyre carrier. 267,000km auto, disk rear, electric everything and wide wheel flares.
My question.
It was in a minor accident, due to a poor quality ally bar it needs a bonnet, grill and RHS head light assy. It still drives fine and runs great.
The bar got a light tap from the RHS and due to cold weld it fell of but smashed the headlight grill and bent the front corner of the bonnet badly.
Is it worth fixing or just wreck it out?
I have considered a ute cut but I don't have time and have other projects.
I can proberly get pics tomorrow if it helps.
Thanks for any replies.

Sorry if my original post waS vague.
I got it damaged from a freind, it was not insured. I was curious if it was worth fixing or not.
If re-sale is not that good on these compared to what parts would cost.
No point spending $2000 on a $4000 car.
I have had a look on ebay and most parts seem to be down south.

Bonnet, Grille and Headlight ass and front bar (standard or s/hand bullbar) with a few minor repairs to the headlight panel incl paint and fit you should be able to get out of it for 1500 or less. What is the colour as that will depend on price for paint. White, ok, metallic red or the like 1500 might be pushing it. If you email me some pics I'll give you a good idea on what is involved. I'll pm you my email.( Pics dont display for me here on my work computer ) 
80 series Cruisers around your era are going anywhere from 6k in poor nic with no rego to 15k for a good one. Depending on the condition of yours and if you want to keep it I'd be fixing it up...

Late 92 is the update to 4.5 1fzfeRUFF wrote:1990? That should be a 4.0l 3F Carby not a 4.5l EFI. This will make a huge difference on if its worth fixing or not. If its a 90 model and 4.5l its had an engine swap or its not a 90 model. The 4.5l didnt come till late 93.
is most likely an injected 3FE in it
Check the serial number on the motor the 1FZ will start with 1FZ its on the block near the starter motor

colour is 4k1 dk40, its a gold/champane colour.
Engine looks like a nissan l28, id tag says engine type 3fe, I can't find an engine number so will assume its a 3fe. The inlet manifold looks similar to a RB30 inlet, has efi cast into it, rocker cover is round like a holden 6.
I don't know much about 80 series, so all your help is very appreciated.
I will upload pics shortly.

IT will be a 3FE (injected 3f) its not a 4.5 twin cam
even so you should be able to fix it cheaply and it would depend on what you want to do with it to whether it is worth fixing .
to make money probably not worth it
but if you wan to keep it and drive it around on weekends or do it up as a project ie engine conversion down the track then it would be a good thing
probably not as good as a daily driver due to the 3fe's taste for fuel and lack of go
but it would be fine for weekend work or the odd trip away (not long distance)unless you are happy to pay fuel and put up with the power.
