    Hey guys. I’ve been restoring/driving a 1988 Buick Estate wagon hearse for the past few years. I just found the floor pans on eBay which it has sorely needed but my greatest hunt item is still the inner front fenders. The outer fenders are flapping in the wind because they don’t have anything solid to mount to. I don’t want to rig something shoddy to fix this and would much rather buy an oem or aftermarket replacement if it fit without a headache. Does anyone have parts to sell, or a whole parts lesabre estate wagon to sell?

    I'm sure there were long ago members that had full-sized Buicks to part out; it just takes time to run through all the parts for sale/wagons for sale ads. I should also bring up, the other three GM marquees (Chev, Pontiac and Olds) use the same inner fenders.

    Welcome aboard! I'd love to see your car. Unfortunately I don't have the parts you're looking for. Good luck in your search.

    Also, don't limit yourself to the wagons. All the B-bodies should use the same (or nearly identical) inner fenders. Check your local junkyards!

    Well, I guess once again, I wasn't clear; I meant of all "B" body cars.
