Driver-Side Fender Repair...

I started stripping down the driver's side fender and found there was a little more damage there than what I was expecting. The front corner had been hit.

At some point an attempt was made to pull it out and they coated it with body filler. Part of this process also included not straightening out the substructure of the fender or broken welds, and hammering some of the factory edges flat rather than straightening the metal back out.

It took me a couple of hours, but I got the fender a lot closer to where it came from the factory, but it will still need filler to help true up the metal, just not nearly as much as was there originally. And, the substructure is welded back in place as it should be.
