Our friend from OZ saved me a lot of typing. Obviously he remembers this task well.

I'm not sure whether this carries over the 85-86 boundary, but in the older ones, the very end of the front of the fender is attached to the top rad support by one rivet. Other than that, everything comes loose by screws and bolts.

If you pull the fender in the junk yard, bring a chisel or file along to deal with that one small rivet, if it is still a part of the 87 fender attachment.

We were lucky to find the same color fender for an 83. Bumper, shocks and headlight components all from the same donor.
