April 2006

I have spent several hours cutting and fitting a donor front fender. This shows the fender ready for welding. I used butt-weld clamps along with c-clamps.

Here's the front trunk attachment side.

Here's the front attachment.

This shows the fender welded on the car.

Here's another shot. I'll grind these welds flush with the fender.

This shows the plug-welds that attach the front section.

This shows the final sanding after many very small layers of bondo and a single layer of spot putty.

This shows where the bondo over the welds and the bondo over the side-marker was filled.

Another shot of the fender after bondo and spot putty.

Well I haven't done any work on this car lately and I don't plan to do any for another couple of weeks. But I was looking through the parts stash that came with the car to see if there was anything available for my current driver. What I found was a complete set of seals.

Here's a close up shot.

Here's another close up.

Here's another close up.

Here's some of the hardware that was included. You can see in the lower right corner the original black pop-rivets for the threshold plate.

This shows some more parts. In the lower right corner are the original window guide ends, NLA.

Here's the fragile chrome strips that go on the bottom of the sail panel vinyl.

Also included was this ski rack.
