Rear Fenders

With the colder weather, progress is slowing down. Still waiting for sand blasting to get completed.

I did get some work done on the rear fenders.

The rear fenders I received with the car were unusable, both have had repairs done. And both are rejects.

After removing a lot of filler I was left with this. Although the MGA rear fenders tend to have rust issues in the dogleg area, I was hoping to see a better repair job then this.

Even the back end show history of damage. To much!

The only choice was to look for "new" ones.

I found two rear fenders in British Columbia removed from California cars.

A few dents, some minor surface rust, but the all important dogleg is in very good shape.

After cleaning off the paint and rust, and introducing it to the slapper, the fender looks great! Very little filler will be needed.

The left fender had the same repair to the dogleg.  This repair came out a little better and overall the fender was in decent shape. I could have used it if I hadn't  found a healthier one.
