Fender advice please
« on: March 10, 2006 - 04:43:19 AM »
I have been looking for an excellent fender for my car is this it?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8044060799&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
I have posted in many place for a passenger side fender and last Thursday got a e-mail from this guy saying he had this fender would I be interested at $600. I wrote back and said "maybe, send me some picturees" The next e-mail I got from him said he had decieded to put the fender on e-bay if I was interested I could bid on it . Strange.
 
Anyway, They fender is now on e-bay and I still need one. Is it worth it? Do you notice anything strange about it? does it look right? do the contours follow?
 
Any advice is appreciated.

the only thing I noticed was behind the wheel opening, looks like a pattern of holes. As if a fender rake from a 72-74 ralley car was installed on it at one time. The usual weak spots are hard to pic out in pics.

That fender is far from a 600 dollar fender, it needs a lot of work and for that price you could get a reproduction. Like I said before, I sold a perfect fender on eBay last summer for around 750(when repos were a long time away)...when I say perfect I mean it was completely stripped, hammer and dollied, and had hours of work into it, that fender just needed to be bolted up and given the once over. The fender on eBay is a good starting point, but certainly isnt worth that much.

I had my body guy look at the fender today and I will not be bidding on it.
I also e-mail the guy for extra picture and asked about the patch in the back. He said he did not know anything about a patch. E-Bay :nono: Does the inside of the fender look wet?

You'd need to put some time into that fender to make it right. Not worth $ 600.00, though.
