Is the fenders you ordered Nissans?

You made a wise choice in avoiding the fender repair. Those patch panels would have eaten a ton of time and would have been extremely hard to make look good.

I'd be suspicious of the fit of aftermarket fenders

I ordered them from Black Dragon Auto. Nissan wanted $770 something out the door and Black Dragon was $500 something. They come in today, I'll let you know how they look and if they are OEM.

That air cleaner looks brilliant. Did you sand blast it before painting it? The colour looks pretty close on the photo's

Your making good progress.

Since you're on a time-budget, you should know that you probably won't get those Tokicos anytime soon unless you found a place that had them in stock. Tokico's distributor went out of business so there haven't been any new shocks delivered to the US for a while now, AFAIK.

It was sand blasted before the paint. The sand blaster has been running pretty constant so far.

I got them off Amazon which said they had 8 left. Hopefully the website wasn't lying. If it was, I'm not sure what I'll do.

Got the fenders in today. Don't have a chance to check them out, but my Dad sent me a picture. He said they look great. No OEM Nissan sticker on them, so I'm assuming they are aftermarket.

Just an FYI, I bought original NISSAN front fenders and the brackets did not match, these were even covered in NISSAN wrapping. Point being, no matter where the panels come from there will be the need for fittment.

Yeah, I'm a little concerned on how they'll actually bolt up. Hopefully I'll get them mocked up soon to see how they fit.

Tonight I ordered black seat skins with the embroidered "Z" on the head rest with matching e-brake/ shift boot. I'm switching the interior to black so here's the first step. Making progress!!!

Got the battery tray cut out and removed the remaining tray that's pictured. Hopefully get it too my sheet metal guy in the next 2 days to see what he can do.
