My '84 M491 has a fiberglass hood, bumper, and fenders. I have a steel hood, bumper, valance, and right fender (anyone have a Guards Red left fender?). With my backdate on hold until I'm ready to paint the car (which may never happen), and my impending move across the country, I'm pulling off all the fiberglass stuff and putting it back to stock.
I've never pulled fenders or bumpers before, I never got to see the car in stock trim, and I have no real-world reference I can eyeball. If anyone knows of any threads that go into detail with regard to installing fenders and front body panels, I'd love to check them out. I have many questions.
In the process, I will be eliminating my center-mounted oil cooler in favor of a monster fan on the fender cooler—my cooling concerns are traffic, not high engine load. To avoid shipping giant parts, all of this stuff will be sold before I head West, if anyone outside of NYC is interested: front/rear '73 RSR bumpers, 3.8 rear wing and deck lid, front fenders, hood, oil cooler...
I pulled everything off to get a true account of what bits I have and what bits I don't. I'm currently in the process of staring at diagrams and compiling part numbers...I have the big stuff, it seems, but it looks like I've got
a lot of fasteners to buy.
Resistance is futile.
