THe 240sx is a unibody. You cant take off the rear quarter and the quarter panels...

rear fenders are custom jobs, requiring sometimes welding and screws to attach them to the rear quarter panel. The front fenders come off by taking a set of bolts off.

it would be the the back to get fucked up then. is there any easier way to replace the back panel or fender or should i just take it to a body shop. the thing wrong is that the body around the wheel is all dented, and fucked up and skretched to the bare metal

No real easy way. Unless you have body working skillz (not the sexy stripper kind) then you should take it to a body shop, or learn how to do it. If someone else learned, so can you :D. Dont expect it to be perfect your first time around though. This is would require cutting out the quarter panel, and cutting a good one off a junked car, and rewelding it in, then smoothing out the welds and repainting. Not easy.
Or you couls just buy over fenders and rivet them on. A lot easier, but you better not have shitty wheel fitment :D.

awww man i loooove strippers sexy skills. but hes right... usually it should be welded in - often done in the trunk valley area - then grinded, and fitted up with filler and painted so nobody knows (yeah right) - or just go baller and get some badass mofo overfenders and leave the rivets show - BOYAA

showing rivets = sexy like strippers

WOW i cant believe no one isnt flaming this guy yet. Forreal now. But it does take skill to weld on a new panel and should be done by a professional body man. If you've never welded anything before, this probably isn't where you would wanna learn on. Good luck!

You don't take it off, you cut it off from its spot welds.. Then weld on a new piece, grind, body filler, sand, primer, paint, etc.

You can take off the rear fender on a hatchback. I remember someone on NWN had them for sale.


however... nobody bought them because nobody wants to completely take the back end of the car apart to do it. ITS A HUGE JOB
