G,day

Unfortunately i was involved in a minor accident, the car is all good, apart from a badly dented front quarter panel. I have a replacement panel in the same color, just wonder in anyone knows if there are any difficult aspects to this swap, for example any hard to reach screws or clips. Swapping the panel is going to be far cheaper than getting the panel "fixed" at a panel beaters.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Cheers

It should be a fairly easy swap.
I believe there are 3 bolts on top, two along the front bumper and one near the door.
Just undo the side indicator lights, undo bolts, possibly the under-panel plastics, swap out with the new panel, replace everything back.

Cheers, that's good news,
im still a bit of a rookie when it comes to these things, but i keen as to keep learning
Thanks for the advice

its a little bit more screws than that there are 3 holding the fender to the bumper 3 in the engine bay 1 in between the door and frame 2 underneath on the side skirt 2 i believe or 3 holding the fender on to the headlight support (hardest to get to in my opinion) and the fender well plastic has i believe 7 when i did mine its a bit time consuming so give yourself about an hour and a half since its your first time oh and the side marker on the fender its one screw it pops out good luck

its easy! after youve done it like 3 times

Thanks for the help guys, have a whole day on Saturday to swap the panel over and have a few mates coming round to help / laugh at me!. So hoping that it will not create any dramas!

swapped over the panel, there where a few tricky nuts and screws, but generally speaking, it went well, thanks for all the advice, i now have my Celica looking neat and clean again.

Cheers!

now post up pics. hahahahh
great that it went well.

Will do, its dark now, so i am hoping to get some pictures up tomorrow!
Cannot promise anything exciting though, after all its only a front quarter panel!
