Fab, if I can give you a pieces of advices, don't use a repro fender... They are not the same as a good original one.
you have one original jf ? a left one? I will check if I have a left one tomorrow. I can call some people if you want? With a repro, I fear that you will have clearancing issue? 2 friends have problems with repro fenders because they are a little less wide than originals. |

There are tons of small differences between repro SLOPING headlights front fenders and the original German FITTED ones (there is a difference between NOS and FITTED too). But this is the BIG one that most haven't seen. First a original German fitted fender:  And this one is a repro one:  Watch those curves, they make a big difference to a finished car... I haven't looked much into non-sloping fenders, but I bet there are similar issues there to |

Nope, its the original one of my never restored 64.... both the left and the right is the same. And the green is a repro, you can tell on the lip that bolts up to the car. It also has thiner steel.

Fabs
Been watching the post..... not going to say sorry, no point. What i will say is fix it, its easy, let me know if you cant get parts im sure i can help.
I posted on another topic, it read
they are for driving, cleaning, raceing, fixing, repairing and restoring.........
Remember the following-
Money, you can always earn more
Oppertunity, take it you might not get the chance again
Life, we only here once so make the best of it
And Shit happens !
When we loaded for EBI1, Arnies 67 was put on the bottom of the transporter for safety reasons, we were so careful but we still dented the roof when we lowered the deck above on to it ! So we are at EBI and Arnie walks up and says oh f%$£ what happened, we say we did it and he says will fix it and dont do it again, how true........
