WTB: w123 sedan front pass fender, paint code 355 M if poss

Any of you pick n'pull guerillas want to pull a fender and ship it to me?

I need a 355 M ("diamond blue") front passenger fender for a 1985 w123 sedan.

IF YOU CAN GET ME A 355: Gotta be 100 percent rust and rot free and at 100 percent clean prior to shipping. I will want to see a pic.

IF you have some other color just sitting there and you want to sell it, then it has to be 100 percent rust/rot free and let's say 90+ percent clean (I will accept minor blemishes).

You will have to ship it via UPS to Canada.

THX

My guess is that the dimensional weight that UPS is going to charge for something the size of a fender is going to be pretty high.

Ah okaaaay so you are answering a thread I posted in the bodywork forum.... so that wrap-under bit, with the seam, that runs under the first third of the underside front of the car is MEANT to be a permanent part of the fender?

Ok I was confused, when I took apart my old '82 that part was a separate panel and was screwed into the lower vertical part of the fender, very nicely done and looked factory so I assumed that was how it was done... till I started to work on my '85, where there is a sort of join-seam but no way to separate the pieces.

Sheet. Well let's put it this way: if you want to ship me a fender, you can cut that part off. You probably think I am insane but I'm deep in rust country here and there's no such thing as an even remotely salvagable fender in (maybe 2 on a good day) w123s in the yard.

Cars that old go to the crusher fast, around here.

Last time I checked with the bodyparts supplier in the area, no dice on a new aftermarket one.

Any Canuck west-coasters lurking here? Any ideas for someone I can call in Western Canada?

Tks
