okay i did some searching but no luck i need some input on my damage i have some pics http://img33.imageshack.us/my....a.jpg http://img33.imageshack.us/my....a.jpg http://img33.imageshack.us/my....j.jpg http://img33.imageshack.us/my....t.jpg

i was wondering if i were to get a 15mm overfender, to cover it but cut abit out and rivet or mold it on, the problem is it doesnt cover the whole over fender, what am i left to do it doesnt cover the part close to the door am i better off finding a new shell? the part that doesnt cover is from the back window where it says the 240sx down till the bottom line of the strip

youre pics dont work, but im assuming the damage is pretty serious if you're just wanting to cover it up with overfenders. I wouldnt recommend it, I'd just get a new shell and swap it over.

Thats what I did, worked out just perfect, and only took a week.

I think most people would get a shell and just swap in the motor, unless you're content and good with body work.. than yeah its do-able. How much did you get it for?

ok thats not bad then, since it came with an sr, but do what i did and pick up a cheap shell (i found a rustless one for $300) and swap the sr and other good parts over.
