I would certainly try to repair the fender (we would be able to do it) to preserve the unibody integrity and the originality of the car. Whenever a fender is cut off of a 914 they are just never the same again, as it is hard to execute a perfect undetectable job.

What you have there could be repaired. As George has hinted, your body is your frame. When you cut out sections and weld in new, you do weaken your body/frame. |
