front hinges
How do the front trunk hinges attach to the body? Is the front set-up kinda the same as the rear thrunk lid hinges in which a part containing a threaded hole is welded to the body and and the hinge is attached via a bolt passed through hinges and bolted into the threaded piece attached to the inner fender? I have a broken front hinge. I have hinges to replace a broken one with but what does the hinge bolt screw into and how is that attached to the front inner fender?

It is like the rear, except the plate the pivot bolt goes in is actually bolted to the car instead of welded. It is fairly obvious how to take it out once you get in there.

front hinges
If it bolts on I can handle that. Do you know if the front ones rust out like the rear ones do? My guess is that mine came apart much like the rear ones do. If that part that bolts to the inner fender is rusted out like the rear ones, Are new pieces available?

I don't think you can get it new, but at least you can unbolt the culprit and bolt a new (used) one in instead of having to weld it in.
