Suzuki Samurai SJ413 JA51 - Fender Repair & Bodywork 1 of ?

The fender on this Suzuki is not the same as a Samurai fender. It's actually a Japanese model Jimny JA51. I think a SJ413 or SJ410 may work but would have to be shipped from western Canada to Florida, USA so I decided to fix this one. Plus most of the time aftermarket fenders might not fit right anyway. Most of the sheet-metal on the Suzuki Samurai, SJ413, SJ410, Jimny JA51 is about 18 gauge and very easy to cut, bend and work with. You definitely don't need a plasma cutter or anything special to make a fast clean cut in 18 gauge sheet-metal and a jigsaw works extremely well. After this patch panel is fine-tuned, I will weld up where I had to make a couple cuts, then I will cut out the damaged area on the fender, flange all the way around with the flange tool and then use panel adhesive to glue on the new repair panel I made.
