pluckedchicken Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I bought a very clean Del Sol with one flaw, a right front fender accident. I saw on ebay, a guy selling Del Sol fenders painted to match for $270, and was wondering If this could be a DIY how the fender is attached? Is the fender simply bolted on, or is welding involved?

Raley Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Bolts under hood, one behind top of door, 1 at bottom of door, one under side skirt and one at the bumper, then the fender lining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluckedchicken Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Forgot yo ask, are you good at body work? I've done some patching and painting on my older cars, just to make do, until a professional can do it right. This would be my first leap body work where appearance matters. That's why the pre-painted fender appeals to me... I've never been able to get the super smooth finish no matter how many times I wet sand and compound it.

cmgogo Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 wrong raley, there are 2 bolts under the side skirt, not just one. When you take the OEM one off make sure you take note of where the shims are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
