After all these years of storing this thing, I finally have the time to start working on it. I started with the pass side rear fender area. I need some suggestions. This being an LE, should I replace the whole fender or just patch in new sail panels? The door jams need to be replaced also, so it would be nice to weld back in a complete fender. What do whole fenders go for? I'm pretty sure I'll need the driverside because it looks like someone took a hammer to it right behind the door. I'll post pictures of that soon. The support piece behind the sail panel needs (both sides I think) to be replaced also. Am I going to have to get that from a doner car? Mittelmotor has only the left side.

Eric, those pictures are scary. I'd be having nightmares. Zach, the sandblasting is very hard on the sheet metal, and can cause large flat panels to warp. I'd avoid it also. The speed at which the soda is shot should take off almost anything. However, the more crap that can be removed by hand the better. Tar coating is one of those things. However, it means that a less than perfect job has to be done with the tar removal.
