I have to following question how to approach.

After the front frame has been repaired, there is the following project to carry out.


When we look at the attached pictures it seems to me, that the driver’s side seems original to me and was never taken apart. ( picture 1)

When I look at the picture of the valence at the passengers side I notice, that some material was added to make it wider. I assume the first thing is to make left and right of te valence identical.

On picture 3 I noticed a kind of edge at the bumper. Is this original or just fabricated by the previous owner.

I am wondering how this issue would be approached

I will open an other thread for the grille question in the same area

The LHS is not original, and has had body filler applied to make it look half reasonable.
The RHS has had a shi### repair done.:cry:....not an easy fix.
Now that the fender has been removed, post pics of the inside/front of the fender.
The front lower/outer valance has filler in it also.
My approach would be to bare metal the affected areas including removing the filler on the lower/outer valance...Temporarily refit the fender and close the hood to see what the alignment is like.
