Default Good body glue needed

Im looking for some advice for some glue
The wheel well came of the main body.
Only the top off it if you push on top of the side you can push it in.

If you look in side of the wheel well you can see they glued it in the factory
At the top there is a gab.

And I have taken out the front headlight brace it came loose on some places. Going to sand blast it and powder coat it.
Then i need to glue it back to the front nose

Any advice of the sort glue to use would be apriciated

Would be nice if its from a brand like 3m

You need bare metal to glue to, grind the contact area.

Right, then de-grease everything with acetone and scuff surfaces with some 80 grits.
