Default Front fender liner.

Passenger side front fender liner is a bit tattered back where the splash shield bolts in. Looks like it might have blown a tire or ran over something in the past. Splash shield was bent up and bubba used some wire to hold it in place. There's a lot of bondo over the split and the bolt holes seem to be missing altogether. Fixable or replace the whole inner liner? They're not cheap, but thankfully the other side is in good shape.

Might be repairable. Not much in that area other than splash shield attachment.

Hi 73,
To my eye this is a pretty intricate shape to repair.
I wouldn't want to get into replacing the whole apron unless I was doing other serious work in that area of the front clip.
I don't see doing it without either a piece from an existing apron or a piece you make yourself.
I'd start looking for a damaged apron that's still usable in that area that you cut a piece from.
Regards,
Alan

That's a good idea. I'll try that route first.
