This is one of the small items that bug me on this car. It is a 79,XXX mile car but this fender is bowed out. Can I adjust the bottom bolts and bring it in a bit? Can I space out the door with shims to bring it out? What is the best way to attack this?
Thank you in advance.

Look underneath it, where the factory jacking place is.
If it's bent, that **may** be the cause. Sometimes people use a floor jack in the area to raise the car.

There is a thread how to fix it, but I don't recall the title.

My car has the same issue on the same fender. It's from the PO placing a jack under it in the wrong place.

This was the way my fender looked on the drivers side....Its the pinch weld underneath the car. Just like everyone mentioned--the prior owner jacked it up in the wrong place and the fender moves as a result. Fix the pinch weld underneath the car and the fender will go back to where its supposed to be.






Here it is after the repair:

Thank you all. I will try this maybe tonight. That little stuff that can be fixed drives me nuts. Now that the issue seems fairly simple I am much happier. I do appreciate the time to look up a link for me and the replies.

Thank you all for the help. Wow, that was not too tough, not perfect yet but VERY close. I will get my big floor jack out and work on it some more but it is almost perfect now. Wow - I'm making progress on this thing. Glad for this forum!
