This is my friends 300z. It got into an accident a awhile and its been sitting for awhile. The car runs but the body is in bad shape. We just need some help getting parts so the Z can look nice.

This is the condition that the Z is in.



What would he need to do to get the side fixed? Any feedback would help us out greatly.

from the looks of it looks like he only need a new rear pass side quarter panel and side glass on the passenger side. and only a drivers side fender and bumper. you might wanna check for bent suspension arms and such.

whats his fixing budget and mechanical skills...if he has like 3-5k to spend then i'd go to twinturbo.net and look in their classifieds as i think there were a few good shells available either for parts or canidates for swaps. looks bad, but good luck

Looks like it needs some serious coin put into it.

Drew? I have all the parts that you need. If you call me anytime between Monday-Friday @ 800-238-3469 I can give you a quote with S&H. Seems yours is a 2+2 Z, for the complete Quarter Panel w/ glass (cut from the seam when you open the door, 12" deep and then cut all the way to theback) you're looking at $300.00 plus S&H. A front Bumper is available aswell. Call me if interested!
