So my left front fender is damaged pretty bad but not too bad. I am trying to figure out the best way to fix it. Either fix the existing one or put a new one on.

Replace

That is what I was thinking. Especially since the POV had a good used one to replace it that I now have. Kind of wouldn't make sense for him to have bought if he didnt think it needed replacement.

I'd take a hammer and dolly to it first... at least try to repair it first. The worst that could happen would be you get a good workout and piss off a neighbor with all the hammering.

this article looks like a good start:

Worst part? That's the best part!

Thanks for the links. I have thought about doing both and I think I will try to repair it first before I even try to cut the car up.

Good place to practice. What does the rest of the car look like?

The bar I circled in red, is it suppoesed to be attached to where the arrow is pointing?

That's about 4 hours worth of grinding, hammering and welding. I'd fix it. You may need to sub it out to a GOOD metal guy. They may need to do a body pull to correct the alignment. But it is repairable. It's up to you.

OK. What I have decided is to try n get it fixed than. Thanks all for the suggestions and opinions given.

if thats just surface rust...

Yeah. Hopefully it is just surface rust.
