two one before the house and one after the house between it and the caliper...most people suggest not reusing old ones, especially the bottom one

is there a way to test a marks air compressor to see if it turns on and pumps?

 

[young mark 8 lover]

primed the fender so it dont rust this winter while i source a new one and front and rear bumpers for next summer since it was bare metal i did forget to take the mud flap off

 

[keVIIIn]

What's the point in priming a junk fender? Who cares if it rusts..just find another fender off a junkyard mark viii..doesnt matter what color it is eitherway it'll look better than a f*cked up smashed primered fender.

 

[young mark 8 lover]

because the rust spots would bug me when i see them

:shifty:

 

[lsemex04]

You can't go wrong with glossy or jet black! All black including blacking out the chrome! Nothing sexier than an all black Gen 1. Check out these pictures of my '93.

what part of Miami you took the last picture....

Primer holds moisture, it will rust faster if you don't paint it.

I have a black gen one drivers side fender if you want to buy it and pay shipping.
