...side panel. Someone did a hit and run on my car and I was going to replace the panel myself with one from a junk yard. I have the Haynes manual but didn't see the specific section on where the bolts are to take off this (quarter?) panel. It looks like there's one bolt under the hood and two by the door. Anyone know if it's more complicated than that, and if so where are the bolts located, and does anything else need to come off/out in order to access it? Thanks!
I think I figured it out, the Haynes repair manual instructions on page 11-18 section 25 about the front fender, can anyone confirm this is the part? or is it the front/side quarter panel???
Here is the location of the bolts holding the front fender. There is also a clip shown in the second illustration.
Ow. Too bad you couldn't catch the mf that did that... but yes, the bolts holding that piece on are creatively tucked away along the edge of the hood opening [fairly obvious], behind the plastic fender-liner around the wheel, and inside the door opening. I think you might have to partially drop the nose to get at one of them -- see this for a vague guide. . _H*
