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!

Area left after removal...

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

Sure did... huh.gif

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

maybe I should have posted this earlier...

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.
Jeroen
oh... ok. glad to hear that. you had me scared for a minute there biggrin.gif
