Re: Front Fender
if you can weld, or has a buddy who does... it'd probably be cheaper to patch
If you are paying a shop 75 bucks an hr... you might be better off replacing... talk to the body guy for his opinion. |

Re: Front Fender
One of mine I'm thinking of patching. The other (passenger side) where the battery is has a lot of rust but also was banged up on the top. If I can't salvage it by body work and minimum bondo, I may replace it.

Re: Front Fender
I think the repops run about 2 hours labor at the body shop if they haven't gone up too much with the price of steel.I would think replacing them would be cheaper but you may have more $$ in panel alignment.
