DAY 5: Wow, that's rusted

After popping the silver trim off the driver side rocker panel we removed the driver side fender.
























Now we're getting somewhere!  Also, we got a good look at those rust spots we knew were going to be trouble.  As it turns out they looked much worse with the fender off:

We will most likely have to replace at least part of the shock tower, but still plan to weld patches on the fender aprons so we can keep them.  The original front fender apron with the VIN stamped on it is still in place so we want to keep that.  Also, it's not as expensive if you get to reuse SOME of the existing parts.
Today cost: nothing
Total project cost: $2,048.31
