Looking for a front left quarterpanel -- 1985 300SD
 

...silver...with blue striping...

Anyone have one of these? If so, how much...and where are you?

Does anyone have any experience with how much these things cost to replace labor-wise (I'm not the guy to replace it)?

Confused
 

What is a front left quarterpanel??? Is it on the driver's side and is it the fender???I have a 126 I am parting out...sorry I am confused...Jim in southern Indiana

As noted in my sig-line, I know very little about cars... My dad always called it a "quarter panel"...

Anyhow, it's the hunk of metal that contains the wheel well...between the driver-side door and the bumper...you know, the part of the car that, when you're looking at the driver-side door from across the parking lot will be immediately left of the door.

Have I beaten a dead horse enough?

I'm guessing this is what you guys call a "fender". To show you how little I know, I always thought "fender" and "bumper" were interchangable terms!

So, how much for something like this? And, to make it silver w/ matching pin-striping? And, to take the old damaged one off and replace with the new one?

I don't know if I need the wheel well or not...

How would I tell?

The car is 100% driveable.

Rust or Damage??
 

I have a fender for ?? dollars plus shipping but the fender will require painting...the fender is silver from a 1982-300D-Turbo......check the area at the rear of the fender in the wheel well for rust...that area is not part of the fender...look in behind the fender and to the right towards the door..if you need some help email me your phone number and I will call you in the evening...good luck...my email address is h16671836@yahoo.com

i do have a light gold fender from a 85 300sd for $50 plus shipping

Thanks everyone...

I'm looking for a fender because I parked on the street one day, and my neighbor across the street backed into it at about 3mph.

Consider getting that one fixed, ask body shop.

I'd get an estimate from a body shop, so at least you'll know what parts you need, how much it will cost for them to mount it and paint it, etc....

It sounds like you have no experience with any kind of bodywork, so this probably isn't something you should try to do yourself.
