... on my '83 the fenders below the beltline in front of the front wheels
and behind the rear wheels are plastic, not fiberglass.  The section above
the wheel is sheet metal ...

Let me tell you, once you pull off the bumper and the lower bodywork, access
of the engine compartment is quite a bit easier.  It isn't that difficult to
remove all that stuff either.  I suppose that the car was designed that way
for service during rallys ...
