Repair/Replacement.... Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: RUSTY WHEEL WELL, allen, Mon, 11 Aug 2003 06:10:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
If repairing would recommend that you have this done profesionally. Rust is an extremely difficult battle/war to fight by yourself. Personally I would not simply repair the rusted fender, but have the entire outter (inner if needed) fender replaced. Now if you are going to replace it yourself, and have a good sense of mechanical skill, it would not be "too" hard. It would be very time involved to remove and install the fender (drilling welds and rivits etc..) and reinstall would involve use of an arc welder, as the entire fender is welded to the body of the car.
FYI, I have heard that Saab has a small fender replacement/repair kit for the C900. It is just new arches. The old ones are cut out, and new arches are welded to the body, then filled in. I believe that DougM used these on this beautiful "99 Viggen". Search the board for more info...
Hope this help you out some.
