I've got the burnt 914 that needs the left rear fender removed and replaced. I have a parts car that has a good fender. I also want to replace the sail panel. How should I remove the fender? However you recommend, I'll use the exact same method for removing the parts car item. Once I remove the fender, I'll need to replace the door striker and some inner engine compartment sheet metal. Please be very specific and provide pics if possible. Thanks again for all of your help.

You really need to drill out all the spot welds. It takes a couple of hours, but is well worth the effort. On the parts car you can use a regular drill bit if you want, but on the car being repaired you don't want to drill through the inner layer. Use a special spot weld drill or a Black and Decker Bullet drill. Spot weld drills are available at auto paint supply stores.
A good way to help find all the spot welds is to sand the paint off the area. There will be small dimples where the paint doesn't come off. Those are the spot welds. There are a lot of them on the leading edge of the targa panel. |
