My fender replacement, progress.. Options

[stock93]

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.

You must like welding! You are creating alot of it with that cut. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I would not have made that cut. You might think now about cutting up straight into the trunk weatherstrip area and avoid that long weld beside the trunk seam. That will create alot of body work later in an area that will be hard to work. Try to use the factory welded areas as much as you can when doing repairs like this. Of course this is only meant as a suggestion, please take it that way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I would cut the whole quarter and replace it. It might look like more work at first. But, the end result will be less bondo work and a more professional job. Oh yeah... I'm a nut for doing stuff like this on my cars.
