I would have loved to......but......

The radiator support was gone on the driver's side from a leaky battery at some point in it's life......so there was no fixing that. The mounting point where it was attached to the frame literally disappeared.

Both fenders were rusted out at the bottoms and it was getting thin around the wheel lips too.

Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and realize that some things are better replaced than fixed. Both of the old fenders will be kept with the car. It's kind of cool to know that the original paint and decals will be preserved on a couple parts.
