Purpose - Summer DD
Bought the car as a shell both metal & FG fenders were included with the deal.
Skill - Not a problem as I have access to everything I need to make metal or FG work regardless of the labor/materials Involved.
I understand that metal rusts and fiberglass dehydrates.
Now what it looks like I should have been more clear about in my question is, are the metal fenders worth saving? or are they so rust/defect prone that the FG is the clear choice?
I stated in my op that they are both in a mild state of disrepair not horrible but I'd rather not waste effort on repairing one or the other.
