Man, I've taken off 3 fenders so far.  There is quite a bit of sealant
which glues the damn things to the inner fender.  The hardest one was
the one in the junkyard from a 4k that had some kind of tack weld to the
core support at the front corner beneath the bumper.  PITA.  Anyone know
if that's normal?

Just make sure you get ever bolt out before you start prying and
pulling.  Hot weather helps, as does getting pissed off (again, make
sure all the bolts are out first!).  :-)

Sincerely,

Ken
p.s.  So, what's up with the door?
