Bad week for my Princess

Hi Qlist:

As if having to replace my rear differential wasn't enough bad enough
for my CARma this week, I had a little brain lapse and smacked into a
pole in the parking garage at my work.  D'oh!  I think it would be
easier to take if it had not been entirely down to comeplete stupidity
on my part.

Anybody have any thoughts about the ease of just swapping the left
front fender for a new (old) one.  I think the dent is a little too
dramatic to pound out.  Other damage includes the side parking light
(reflector broken, light still works) and scratches on the chin gaurd
and that piece of chrome trim on the top of the chin gaurd is bent
(but salvagable, I think).  I have done a fair bit of body work on my
car and my previous one (like replacing a door that kept falling off)
so I'm not completely clueless.  It looks like it simply bolts on and
wouldn't be too much hassle.

This is a hard blow to the Princess as she is vain and was just
looking and running absolutely perfectly...  For exactly three whole
days!

GRRRRRR.
