I have an '86 SPG. I can assure you those front fenders are welded on. Bolting one on is a matter of getting creative as that's not how it was meant to be (although you could).
The fender on the '86 comes in a front 1/2 & a rear 1/2 with the division being a wlded seam over the highpoint in the wheel arch. If your replacement fender doesn't have this 1/2way point it is probably a non-OEM unit FWIW.
I would encourage you to replace the 'inner fender' as well. I didn't & the two didn't line up quite right, causing rust. Had it repaired 2x before the body guy figured what was going on. Urrrgh!
The zinc-chromate priming is a good tip.
