Yes, all body style c900 fenders are interchangible. If the rust is limited to the outer fender, it's not too bad of a repair. Any competent shop should be able to do it. The labor costs will be high though. If you can't find a new fender, you'll have to get used. Likely it will not come ready to be mounted. The outer fender will have to be separated from whatever remnants of the door frame and inner fender were hacked off with it when it was taken off a car. Then the rusty fender will have to be cut off the car and the old welds ground down. Then the replacement will have to be plug welded onto the car. If the inner fender is bad too, that's nearly twice the work. The door will also have to be removed to work on the fender welds. Because of all that's involved, many shops will just take your replacement fender and hack out what part they need and weld in a patch rather than go through the ordeal of replacing a whole fender. I think that Skandix may also sell patch panels for the common rust prone areas. Check their website.
