Considering what they charged me for a freakin hardware kit for JUST the front brakes, and the fact that they had to order that, I doubt it. Plus, Z32s are a newer car. ---

Moving the wiring harness to avoid getting worn through by tire rub. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/sockington/240sx/aug14/01.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/sockington/240sx/aug14/01.jpg) Right side fender on. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/sockington/240sx/aug14/02.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/sockington/240sx/aug14/02.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/sockington/240sx/aug14/04.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/sockington/240sx/aug14/04.jpg) How the hell am I supposed to open the door?

I have to wait for money to do the engine work, so I might as well get the Tremclad job done during the wait time. ---

It’s not defective… thats how they are made. They aren’t going to be exact by any stretch… Reproductions suck like that… ---

> [@TM](#): > > It’s not defective… thats how they are made.

Since I got them from work, it’s a simple “defective” swap to see if the other one will fit any better. If not, I’ll space them and widen the holes for it to fit. Making the fender fit will be the easiest thing on the project. ---
