What is the quickest, easiest way to remove the front fender? (sawzall)
Where do I need to make the cuts? Any pics of a fender being removed or removed would be appreciated? I'm starting to part out my blue car to help pay for the cost of the red car. |

drill out the spotwelds in the "gutter" for the hood/fender seal
then there's some more in the door jamb, take the door out so you have good access |

Is there just a couple of spot-welds in the front?

I still have my fenders from when I took them off. Stop by and see where the spot welds are.

Brad Mayeur has a NOS front fender on evilbay right now (eb*y user id = 914ltd). If you ask him nice, he might send close up pics. I've known him for years. Real nice guy!

a little hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like you cut a piece of the chassis off too...

Here's what mine looked like off. Spots ran along the weatherstripping channel.

Eric and Jeroen, thanks for the pics. The reason I 'cut' extra was this fender had been replaced before. Someone had welded the fender to the channel, without the spot-welds. Also, this is now a parts car and I'm just trying to help another person get their teener back on the road.
