thinking of doing a r32 conversion on my vert , and for the rear i was wondering, would r32 rear overfenders somewhat kinda work on the 240??? it'd make lining up the taillights better, and more authentic looking

soooooooooo has anyone tried it?

Ehh the R32 has a flared body line so I don't know if it will work. Not without lot of fiber glass work, and then your adding weight and the risk of cracking under stress. To pull it off you need the tails, lid, bumper, trim, and to do some metal fab work to make it all fit, Might as well just get a rear clip and get to cutting and welding.

Or just drive your 240

I can't find it but there was a white s14.5 with an orange leather interior in either superstreet or modified years back that had R32 metal fenders worked into the body. Looked really, really good. Can't find the pics online, I know I have them on an external harddrive somewhere but don't feel like looking, haha.

I agree, he needs to fiber glass the body line so it matches the fenders and quarter panels.

There is a fender for the 240sx that is modeled after the r32, Origin Type 2. I've been waiting for someone to use it in their r32 conversion
