What parts of the rear end need to be cut out and reinforced, actually doing the cutting, front fenders also. How to fasten the flares, how to tie to turbo (or other?) airdamns, etc.!

This is one i *MIGHT* do at *SOME* point as i have some rust around my rear wells that a proper flare install would fix. front fenders have to GO! (too far gone)

I'll be doing this soon and had some questions for those that have done it. How many holes are drilled? Spaced how far apart? What type of fasteners (websites to order from)? I'd be interested in using something other than machine screws or rivets. Something similar to fasteners used to hold panels on sport bikes.

I'm not as concerned about the front, but I heard the rear needs to be welded? Is this true? Are there any other websites for reference?

Thanks

Thanks Rob! So when are you going to post your findings :P (I kid, I kid) I will be doing mine in a few weeks - I'll be sure to take pics and create a write up... I was just more curious of other options for fastening them other than rivets.

I provided my shop with pics from 02turbo in Telemark. The pics on his site provide good explanation on how to install them properly. http://www.2002turbo.com/02body.htm _________________ 74 2002tii - m20 powered - Under re-construction
