Posted November 8, 20195 yr comment_587232 I have the shell of my 240 at the body shop and I need to make a decision on the fenders. The right side has already been patched on the bottom and has a decent amount of rot and the left side is pretty much junk. I've been looking at possibly just getting replacement fenders but i'm not sure if anything out there is good. Z-car depot has fenders listed but they also state that they may not fit right. Ebay also has fenders but I'm guessing that they are the same as the ones Z-car depot sells. Z-car source offers "refinished" fenders which appear to be used fenders that they did some work to. Any thoughts? Thanks! Also- (poor quality) progress pics!

November 9, 20195 yr comment_587238 Hey! I have a car in the same condition! I would reasonably expect to "diddle" with the fenders depending on your expectations of fit. I have no expectation that a body piece is just going to bolt right up - perfect fit. Doors, hood, deck and fenders included. They are all going to need alignment. For my car, I bought used original fenders in good condition.

November 9, 20195 yr comment_587243 I'd rather repair iffy factory fenders than deal with "massaging" ill fitting ones. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63122-240z-fender-replacement-question/#findComment-587243 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the online Nissan places I usually buy parts from show them as discontinued. Is there a trick to getting them? Do I need a knowledgeable parts person at a local dealer?

November 9, 20195 yr comment_587299 It seems Canada has a larger selection of NOS parts than the US in a lot of cases. Don’t know why. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63122-240z-fender-replacement-question/#findComment-587299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they shipped certain amounts of parts to certain regions but since so many Canadian Zs have succumbed to rust. Maybe you didn't use the supply as fast as those South of the border Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63122-240z-fender-replacement-question/#findComment-587322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 10, 20195 yr Author comment_587324 I'm also going to try to call a Canadian Nissan dealer over the boarder from New Hampshire. Perhaps I can go on a road trip.
