Autobody Advice.

I'm redoing the body on my 240sx, consisiting of stripping the paint get everything ot line up perfectly then paint it. The front finders are like cut then bonded to gether but it looks like a mess and I am unsure wether i should just cut some of the metal out to make it sit better or just sand it/rebondo it?

The amount it would cost to source some S13 Silvia fenders would probably cost the same to have your fenders fixed 'properly'.

ask the guy who did his civic

I can get fiberglass ones too. If you are interested of course.

What would be the pricing on those? Can you paint fibre glass?!
I'm going to be repainting the car flat black again but spend lots of time on it so it comes out good.

paint it a new shiney color, that would look sweet

Paint it brown.

Perhaps they would sponsor you lol, but yea you have to do something with those fenders ... I like the flat black idea, you just have to do the interior of the car to I think. I would also like to put in a complaint that I hit my head in the backseat when we bottomed out ... fix that!

You can order new fenders from Abbothsford Nissan in BC and get free shipping from Japan to Canada. Only have to pay for shipping from BC to here. I've ordered parts for my Silvia through them before.

fyi i paint cars aswell as do sheetmetal and body work. im still learning something about making my own panels but i havnt had any issues with my stuff so far. but ive painted several cars i can get paint cheap and it always comes out silky smooth. lol aswell as i painted those front fenders and bumpers the first time on your car before the whole car got spray bombed again haha.

and if you want primer look. go for matte clear coat. you'll actually be able to wash it and not have it look like a chalk board. and it will look rat rod primer still like that.

oh and for fenders that are factory check import concern.... there kinda pricy for factory stuff though. but none the less nothing fits better then factory
