Hey guys, How would i go about installing a new front fender. I have never replaced a body panel except for a door. Any advice appreciated. thanx.

First of all is it passenger or driver? There is a difference, mostly because of the battery tray and fan motor. If that stuff is original you will probably need to replace them on the passenger side. If it's the drivers side not so bad. It's just a lotta bolts. Best to order a new bolt kit from Ground Up.
1st Remove the hood, or support it in some way.
2nd You will need to remove the wheel to give yourself more room to work.
3rd Remove the inner fender well.
4th You will find two bolts at the bottom of the fender, remove them. (this will probably be the hardest part)
5th Save all the shims washers and spacers.
Then it's just a matter of taking the bolts out and putting it back the same way. You may need more shims to get everything right. It will take a lot of patience to get it right. Hopefully you will be able to take your time. Again if it's the passenger side I would definetly replace the fan motor, you will be glad you did. (don't ask me how I know) Just use common sense and I'm sure you will be alright. graemlins/thumbsup.gif
