[QUOTE="1967eleanor, post: 9361615, member: 32170"] I brought the fenders to the bodyshop yesterday and did a bit of work on them. The drivers fender was fine no bondo or damage, I just needed to weld the emblem holes. The passenger side was a different story however,It weighed about twice as much as the other fender, never good. I ground out all of the old bondo and found a ton "wormholes" Holes created when using a slide hammer. However rather then welding up the holes and doing it right they just caked the bondo on. So I ground all of the old stuff off, hammered and dollyed the dents, welded up the holes. which was a major pain in the ass because the metal was really really thin and it kept burning through. then I blocked the rest. drivers fender before [IMG]http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/3927/img2300e.jpg[/IMG] and after [IMG]http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/8681/img2301j.jpg[/IMG] The antenna hole on the passenger side. [IMG]http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/4953/img2302h.jpg[/IMG] all gone [IMG]http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/4860/img2303n.jpg[/IMG] and now the start of the fun stuff notice the bondo in the emblem holes [IMG]http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/8249/img2304s.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/9629/img2305i.jpg[/IMG] more fun under the bondo [IMG]http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/2884/img2306z.jpg[/IMG] all gone [IMG]http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/527/img2307q.jpg[/IMG] and the worst [IMG]http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/6372/img2311d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7290/img2312xv.jpg[/IMG] all blocked [IMG]http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/1820/img2314wr.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/5683/img2313m.jpg[/IMG] last night me and the mad scientist recovered the rear lower seat.
