Rick, thanks for the pics, it will definately help me this weekend. I'll take plenty of pics myself and post to this when I'm finished. I noticed that the panel where the door striker is, is part of the rear fender, I wasn't aware of that piece. Thanks again.

Your welcome. I will send you a PM with links to the original images.

The part where the striker sits was originally a seperate piece. It's just simpler to keep it with the quarter. Saves you from having to guess how deep to set the quarter over it. BTW, depending on which year car you have, there may be a brace that binds the striker/nut-plate thingie to the tub itself.

Thanks for posting those pics! I might try to remove the fender on the parts car (tub). These will come in handy.

Hey Gint, between your 'rustoration' and my 'resurrection' and the complete support of this web site, we're going to prove that anyone, with the time and the drive, can restore these cars.

Picture #8 is showing an area where you may choose to leave more metal. There is a natural seam in that general area. You may want to find it and determine how to split it based on your particular needs.

Well, the intent this long 3 day weekend was to remove the left rear fender. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the Black and Decker Bullet drill bit. I've checked NAPA, Sears, Tool Wholesale (local company) and the locak auto paint store. Any recommendations to where I can check next? I don't want to purchase the 'hole-saw' type, evidently they break easily. Once I get the bullet bit, I'll show the removal of the fender.

BTW, it wasn't a lost Porsche weekend. I worked on the V8 conversion project. I removed the dealer installed A/C system. This included removing the condesor, in the front trunk, the dryer, in the right fender well, the under dash fan control unit, in the passenger compartment, and all of the A/C hoses, that run from the front to the engine compartment. Here's a shot of the hoses hidden beheath the right side valance.

Looks like you got some 30 year old cheese in pic #4. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Well, the removal of the left rear fender continues. I've drilled out all of the spot welds, using the 3/8" spot weld drill bit
(bought at Eastwood Co for $19.99 + shipping) and a 1/4" regular drill bit (for the spot welds where the 3/8" wouldn't fit, see pics).

Here's a pic with 95% of the fender apart. It also shows where I used the 3/8" and the 1/4" drill bits.

There are 2 places that are still connected, the air tube and where the fender meets the rear tail light housing.

Chris (Racer Chris) you mentioned that the air tube is brazed, how can I un-braze it?

Close up of the air-tube.

The rear tail light housing has some previous repairs and the spot welds are hidden underneath the PO welding job.

Any recommendations for removal?

Rob, are you removing the fender from this car for use on another tub?
