hey, there are 2 bolts right on the bottom of the fender below the front mud guard, 3 or 4 right on the top pf the fender, open the door and at the top of the fender behind a small peice of rubber (right at the point on top of the fender), another one behind the headlights, pull the marker out if you have small hands, pull the plastic wheel well liner out, think there is about 6 small screws holding this on, the mud guard has 4 plugs holding it on, dont need to remove this but it helps, there is one screw holding the bumper to the fender right at the point, 1 more about 8" back from the headlight. think this is all, going from memory.

you mean fender or quarter panel (its on the backside of the car, not the front) if you are trying to replace quarter panels then youll need to drill out all the spot welds.

So you're talking about swapping the skin from the shell of another car to yours? That seems like a lot of work to me. If you can, and this might be easier than replacing the whole skin itself, just use patch panels. Cut old the rusted crap on yours and replace with the not crap from the other one.
I'm in the same boat as you, the skin on my car is shot! The bottom is gone, and then some.

is the panel rusted through? If not you can repair skin itself. If its rusted in just a spot I would recommend repairing it with a patch.
!/4 jobs are for professional bodymen, not everyone can do it, especially if you have never done any bodywork or took any classes. Whole 1/4 is the last resort.

I'll be doing something similar soon on my mx, I'm just waiting for the guy to get back to me on the panels.
