When I bought my 914 it had a small hole in the right rear fender. When I stripped the paint off of it the whole part above the taillight was made of bondo. Right below the tail light also had a big chunk of bondo. Above the wheel well there was a layer about 1/4in thick. So I made the decision to replace the fender. I got the old one cut off tonight. I'm going to trim the new one to fit then mig weld it on.

The hell hole has a bit of a problem and there is some rust at the base of the firewall due to the rear window being loose. I also has a small hole in the floor after I removed the tar. This has been an Alabama car all its life. I still dont think its to bad for a car that was in a cow field when I got it. Theres no rust in the rear trunk floor. Just a tiny bit on the rear trunk lid under the back lip. The front doesnt have any rust in it besides the weatherstrip guide around the lights. Any tips? This is my first time doing this. I will obviously stich weld it very slowly as not to warp it.
