Are front fender sections available for the 911??
 
Hi,
I have a 911 with a 964 body kit and turbo look arches.
I have some rust blisters developing around the front headlight bowl and I was wondering if a fender section is available for the 911? I can't afford a new set of fenders and everything from the headlight bowls back is good.

It seems such a waste to bin good fenders for a small bit of rust in one area.

In Ireland we have a lot of rain and rust in these areas is common. If I was in the metal game I would be looking to make replacement sections (providing they don't exist already).;)

The buckets are NLA from Porsche.

Don't know if any aftermarket suppliers are providing them.

The bowl or bucket is good but the fender area below the bowl at the front and side has rust blisters.
Do Porsche do these?

Thanks,
Dave

Try restoration design, they are always adding new products.

I had a look at Restoration Design's website. I don't think they do anything like this. Looking at the price of parts there, I'm not sure I can afford anything!!

Thanks,

Dave

they are actually reasonably priced compared to factory NLA stuff... Perhaps you can try a dismantler like DC Auto or other and get a used one...

Apologies, they are very reasonably priced for most items, I just glanced at the first page and saw a fender for $1500....

They don't seem to do the fender sections though....:(

Maybe they would start to produce them for the European and North American "rust belt" areas.
Try contacting them to find out.

Post a pic of what you need; there are likely some forlorn fenders lying around. I know I have a right 198-- fender that has a good front and bucket (I used the mounting flange area to patch a '68 fender) but shipping the entire piece would probably be steep. There's probably similarly situated fenders lounging around closer to your home.

Dave
