tah Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Yesterday I took my passenger rear quarter to bare metal. Some a$$ had fit a patch panel and used about 3 to 5 pounds of Bondo. I knew I had some filler in this area but this was sick! They fit the patch high in the rear and low in the front and used Bondo to "hide" the transitions. The door gap looks unnatural. I think they fit the front of the patch with the door open and later discovered their mistake. Instead of cutting the patch loose and re-welding...Bondo to the rescue! I'd like to find a quarter panel like one of these listed on eBay. Unfortunately both of these are driver's side. The first one is what I believe to be an aftermarket patch, it's larger than the one used on my car before and would work fine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT This one is said to be OEM, but no longer available. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT Any advice or guidance appreciated.

tah Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 Try this site: http://www.alfaparts.net/datsun.html See if that helps. Thanks for the input. I've contacted them and waiting for a reply to see if this is a viable solution. Never heard of these folks. Any good reports from other buyers that you know of, or just a friendly suggestion? Also, I have a picture of my problem area but haven't seen how images can be posted to this forum. Am I missing something? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTenneZ Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 As far as buying from them I plan on doing that very soon. I have spoke with Allen on the phone and he seems to be pretty nice. However I cannot attest to the quality, but perhaps someone else can. About the pictures, go to the "photo album" section and underneath the pages main header is a smaller bar that, on the right hand side says "Upload Photos" the rest is just clicking away.

tah Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 Well I got lucky. A ZCar member in Maryland has disassembled a complete 74 260 and is "giving" me what I need. He said to just come get it. Right side, left side, rockers, hood, whatever I want for FREE!!!! He's a metal worker and took everything apart properly at the seams. Guess it's my lucky day!
