70-78 240-280z fenders and request for GRM $2003 challenge car

The following is a repost from the IZCC and 240z list. Help me out!

I'm looking for a set of 280Z fenders, left and right

in good shape. Don't care about color as long as

there is no rust other than surface and no big

dents,(minor dent might be acceptable).

These will be going on a Grassroot motorsports $2003

challenge car. I am buying a car from their "budget"

and they need a set of fenders. To stay within the

rules, they can trade or buy outright. It is

obviously better if they get something in the form of

a trade as it doesn't impact their budget. My

agreement with them is to buy their shell,(they took

some parts from), and to provide them with a set of

280z fenders. Actually, 240 fenders will bolt up, so

I am game for any set of Z fenders, 240-280,(modifies

subject line..)

I really don't want to pay too much, as I am a cheap

bastard. :) Donations are great.

If you want, you can think of this as your

donation,(or for a small fee), to the Z community rep

to the $2003 challenge.

For those unfamliar with the Challenge, the rules are

pretty basic. You have a budget of $2003 to build a

car to autocross, drag race and enter a concours

event,(they judge your work, engineering, etc..). You

can buy, trade and your own work is free, but your

total expenditure must be less than $2003. So the

shell I am buying they bought for $640. I am buying

it from them for $640 plus a set of Z fenders,(and

possibly some other trades). They did remove some

parts from the car to help turn a profit from this

purchase,(such as a set of weber carbs). We are both

getting a good deal. BTW, they are using a turbo

engine, not webers,(they sold that to end up making a

profit from this car to help their budget).

I saw the car and the body work they have done is

phenomenal. I see good things in this car if they can

get everything working and nothing breaking,(usually

what nails competitors). So you can say your fenders

are on the $2003 GRM challenge car!

I live in Norfolk, VA and can pick up within a

resonable radius. I must pick up the car in New

Jersey, so anywhere between Norfok and there is

perfect. If you don't want to donate, talk to me

about price, but I am cheap and it must be reasonable.

If you are looking to get top dollar for your

fenders, I'll pass. They are also looking for a set

of rocker panels,($55 from Zedd findings, or a good

set cut from a car), a 240Z style air dam, a set of

26/11/15 slicks for the drag portion,(can be used).

Oh yea, a driveshaft loop,(they expect to be running

11's in the 1/4 mi). Hmm, also if you have a new set

(2) of 225/50/25's and (2) 245/50/15's in autocross

compounds,(Kuhmo's or similar), they might want to

talk to you,(or you can talk to me and I'll talk to

them).

I'm all about being charitable to the Z community, so

lets support this effort!
