Body shop work is not cheap. I had got several quotes for just rust repair alone on ONE front fender (not replacing) and they were between $1200-1500, and that was with me removing the bumper, side marker light and molding! - Although these weren't quotes from MACCO type places. I'm sure they would have quoted me less. I think I was very fortunate to get everything I got done at under 2k.
you wont be saying that after 20, 30 yrs of breathing that cr*p in... for as much as i love bodywork, i'm damn glad i dont do it for a living anymore...

Wheel arch moldings
LMC does have them, although they are pretty flimsy in my opinion. You can get them for 89-91. Part # 38-7009 for the 4 pc. set @ 59.95. I have only put one on so far and it fit pretty good, although I did have to drill a couple new holes (aftermarket fender). You need to be real careful with them because its like tin foil, they will bend, kink, crimp easily. I may look around for something a little more stronger.

thanks, yea I remember the old OEM ones seemed flimsy to me too. I think they were made of aluminum. I'll keep a lookout for better ones too.
