    I did rust work on my right inner fender and they are in epoxy primer right now.
    Before I paint them I have one question.

    Are those two holes factory and is the "dent" supposed to be there? I had a lot of crap in my engine room so I am not sure.

    Also the hole in the lower left looks fishy as well

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    If the car had aftermarket A/C they may have mounted hoses/dryer on the Inner fender. My car has this. These wholes and the dent could have been caused by this? Was anything there when you disassembled?

    Look at the crappy factory wrinkles in the stamping

    thanks for the answers...holes held wiring loom for the 6AL ignition wich wont be reused. Yes fitment in general is horrible haha.

    can you look at the other holes as well? the one alone seems to be correct as Ive seen it on other fenders. the two below are weird as well.

    this is the left one...horrible...I know some of them must be for wiring harness to the lights and washer tube...but wich ones? Car has factory AC but no Cruise Control or stuff

    How do you guys mount them back onthe car? together with the fenders or first and then fenders?

    figured I weld all holes shut except the 3 larger ones

    Install the fenders with the inners attached. Best to have a helper to help guide it in and watch for stuff rubbing and scratching.

    The 2 below are for the bracket that holds the AC muffler
