240Z Fender Replacement Question

[Zaspen]

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!

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.

 I'd rather repair iffy factory fenders than deal with "massaging" ill fitting ones.

Order them from Nissan. They still have restamps of good quality. Mine was almost perfect.

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?

Still available at Alberta Nissan dealers. About $350 Cdn

Part numbers?

Carpartsmanual.com has everything

I may call my local Nissan dealer on Monday and see what they have to say.

It seems Canada has a larger selection of NOS parts than the US in a lot of cases. Don’t know why.

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

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.
