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.

I agree with Slowpoke!
Trust me, it will make your hell hole and floor repairs so much easier and better if that damn rear quarter panel is not in your way. Cut out the 10K spot welds with a spot weld cutter and remove the door sill as well. Then you can get to the hell hole, floor pans, inner rockers etc. with much less effort and over all the job will better and stronger. Plus it will make installing the frame stiffeners much easier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I would also recommend using as much metal from donor cars or restoration designs as you can afford. It beats the hell out of trying to fab that stuff your self. Best of luck and have fun. -Pete |
