Folks, I'm looking for a collective opinion from the vast knowledge of people who have faced this before me. I have a 123 which is my beta restoration car to test out procedures and learning the art of body work.
This is an 82 240D and the front fenders around the turn-signal indicators have 2 rust spots. The first is in front of the chrome trim strip going towards the door, the other towards the top of the fender but also at the turn-signal light. The quarter panels behind the front wheel on both sides need to be replaced also. Since this is an 82, it appears that the dreaded gluing of the fenders was done, for 82 240D does not have the plastic liner which appears on my 83 123.
I can add pic's if this would help.
