Front bumper/inner fender repair 111 coupe

So even though we are getting ready to move I have finally found some time to commence with my LONG term project-my well driven 3.5 coupe. It has the typical front bumper support/inner fender damage that well driven cars have. it is a Ca car but has a lot of miles so just road debris beating on surfaces eats them away. The front bumper support is similar on most 108/109/110/111/112 cars so this would apply. The inner fender channels are only on 111/112 cars. I will document the process for anyone that might benefit from it. I cut a replacement bumper support from a rust free 280S in the Pick n Pull. There have been many hours of drilling/grinding spot welds on the car and the replacement piece. I will have to fabricate repair panels for the inner fender channels. My goal is to make the repairs as transparent as possible.
