fender
How much of a job is it to remove the right front fender on a 02 coupe. The owner before me had a leaking battery and the frame rail is rusted so I need to remove the fender and the computer so I can clean and repaint the frame rail. Do I need to remove the bumper first or can I get it off without taken off the bumper.
thanks for the help
