Replacement Body Panels?

I bought a 1990 240sx not too long ago for $800 although it is a little rusty. I'm trying to find some pre fit replacement body panels for a hatchback. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

junkyards, pull aparts, and local swap meets will be your best bet. I doubt you will find any oe stuff new. fenders, hood and trunk are probably among your top priorities? you will have a little trouble with the rear fenders as it is a unibody

Your not going to find rear quarters due to it being unibody. Your going to have to go to a junkyard and have them cut rear quarters for you, have the old one cut out of your car and the new one welded in. Labor is not easy and not cheap.

unibody construction is one reason why 240s are totalled so easily

Thanks, i knew they had to have something somewhere. I've found them for my friend's Mr2 before, and i can weld them in myself, thats my goal for the summer. To do all the body work then a paintjob.
