I've got a '92 240sx LE, and I've managed to put severe dents and creases in most of the panels. I'm adept with the tools I have, but I don't know exactly how to replace these panels myself. I picked up a Chilton's manual, but it doesn't say anything about body panels. I also can't find anything on the web for it, except that everyone has body conversion kits; I don't want to convert it, just replace the damaged panels.
Where can I look up repair information on replacing the body panels? Thanks!

Enroll in night classes at the local trade school. You can learn new skills, and use your car as your "shop project".

The only panels which are "easy" to replace would be the front fenders, and valance, or header panel. All the rest are welded in place, and some may actually be part of the integral structure of the unibody frame. You really need to know what you are doing.
