    is there anyway to fix this?



    short of buying a new panel? there's more damage than i thought and i think one of the bolts is bent because it wouldn't un screw and it was the only one that didnt..

    any tips would be great

    it is possible to fix it, but would be alot easier to just buy another fender

    it would be a PITMFA to fix it
    go to junkyard buy a fender go to a place that will mix custom spray paint for you and get it the color of ur car and paint it then install it (Y)

    Re: is there anyway to fix this?

    hmm, how long time ago your car was repainted? if its an original paint then you might be beter off on finding one at the JY, because if you paint new fender, than you will see the difference in color/depth.. ant it will spoil the look..

    Its prttey fnuny how you can raed tihs eintre snetnece with all tehse ellters out of palce...

    most junkyards have alot of 3gees so there is a very good chance they have some good fenders and they might even have one in your color but if not like i said you can get that custom spray paint can that cost like $20

    If you can find a rust free junkyard fender for cheap, get it. If not, buy a new one. Then, get a proper bodyshop to computer match your already paint, then prime/paint your replacement fender.

    Do not fucking use rattle cans, it will look like shit.

    Re: is there anyway to fix this?

    pick n pull would be your best bet for finding a fender

    you live within a 20 minute drive of 3 pick and pulls.. theres probably a red 3gee sitting in one of them right now let me know a day you want to go and look and ill go help you pull it. it's not too hard just need a philips screw driver and a 10mm socket.. plus maybe a towel to carry it thru the jy so it doesn't get scratched lol

    i think my fender was 70 bucks
