Posted January 24, 200322 yr comment_24389 The following is a repost from the IZCC and 240z list. Help me out! -Bob 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! -Bob Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/4411-70-78-240-280z-fenders-and-request-for-grm-2003-challenge-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
