seemingly endless issues with my 914  Group: Members Posts: 218 Joined: 13-February 07 From: Chicagoland Member No.: 7,532 Region Association: None  |
Has anyone dealt with this situation without replacing the entire fender?
The double paneled section rusted from the inside out, but the rust is isolated to the cowl area. The rest of the fender is rust and dent free in and out.   |

I did this same repair on both sides of my car. I have some pictures in my
1973 restoration thread somewhere around page 8 or 9 or so. On my car, the lower layer of metal was good on one side and non existent on the other. I did not replace the lower section on the side where it was rusted out. My car is not really what you would call concours so I did not worry about it. Make sure you have your door mounted right so you can tell if your fender line will match up. Also, weld it slowly and let it cool frequently or it will warp big time. Jeff Hail's thread has some great pictures of repairing the lower layer of this area. John |
