I've got the burnt 914 that needs the left rear fender removed and replaced. I have a parts car that has a good fender. I also want to replace the sail panel. How should I remove the fender? However you recommend, I'll use the exact same method for removing the parts car item. Once I remove the fender, I'll need to replace the door striker and some inner engine compartment sheet metal. Please be very specific and provide pics if possible. Thanks again for all of your help.

You really need to drill out all the spot welds. It takes a couple of hours, but is well worth the effort. On the parts car you can use a regular drill bit if you want, but on the car being repaired you don't want to drill through the inner layer. Use a special spot weld drill or a Black and Decker Bullet drill. Spot weld drills are available at auto paint supply stores.
A good way to help find all the spot welds is to sand the paint off the area. There will be small dimples where the paint doesn't come off. Those are the spot welds. There are a lot of them on the leading edge of the targa panel.

Is the fender and the targa panel a single piece?

Are there spot welds where the outer targa panel meets the inner targa panel meet?

Can I use my regular 3/8" hand drill?

Thanks for the info.

Yes. The outer targa panel, fender are one piece. In fact, the door jam should be kept with the quarter to make things simpler. The hard part is the fresh air pickup (vent?) in the door jam.

Send me a PM to remind me and I will take some pics of rear quarters tomorow that have been removed via the spot welds so you can see what's involved.

IIRC, the factory used lead in the area of the air exit tube on the door jamb to smooth things out.
IIRC, the air tube is brazed to the door jamb.

Hi Rob,

Is the existing quarter panel unrepairable? In the picture, it looks like one to be straightened maybe?

I believe you're correct.

John,

The panel is repairable, but there is a lot of rust underneath. Also, I need to remove to repair the inner engine compartment side wall and behind the striker is very rusty. The panel I'm replacing it with is almost perfect. Maybe after I remove it, John, you can give me some pointers on straightening it out.

kafermeister,

Whenever you can post the pics will be great, I'm planning to remove the bent one this weekend.

Okee dokee. This is a fender that another listmember sent to me for the Kafermeister Special. I've marked some of the pics with red lines in areas where I'm not too sure where the original Karmann fender stops and the rest of the tub starts.

The following images are 237k or less in size. I have full size images that arround 1mb each. I can get those to anyone who wants them. I can also take more detailed pictures of specific things if it would help.

Rick
