| | | 1994 G20 van LH fender spot weld locations #727781 September 13th 2017 12:59 pm | Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 2 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 2 | Hi guys,
I'm looking to replace the LH fender and headlight backing panel (and probably the bumper support) on my '94 GMC G2500 Vandura. I've noticed a lot of spot welds, but, looking through the forums, I'm unsure just how many I'd have to remove. Can anyone provide insight?
So far I'm pretty certain I'd have to remove the following spot welds:
- Along the top under the windshield strip (windshield must be removed, or just stripping?) - Between the fender and door all the way down (door must be removed) - Between the bumper support and RH fender (so I can take the bumper support along with the LH fender) - Somewhere inside the engine compartment? - Somewhere under the wheel well?
I appreciate any help! | | | Re: 1994 G20 van LH fender spot weld locations | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | Welcome to the site Joe ....

My van's still drivable, but the fender really does need replacing. | | | Re: 1994 G20 van LH fender spot weld locations | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 2,027 Likes: 51 veteran | veteran Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 2,027 Likes: 51 | They are along the edge where the fender meets the door frame, behind the headlights and unfortunatley where the fender meets the windscreen frame. The windscreen needs to come out. You will see the dimples, buy a good spot weld drill and it goes through them fairly quickly.

Where the fender meets the windshield you can cut the fender at the body line about 1 1/2 inches below the windshield cut the new fender the same way and weld it in there but be careful not to get the windshield rubber to hot | | | Re: 1994 G20 van LH fender spot weld locations | Joined: Jan 2019 Posts: 1 stranger | stranger Joined: Jan 2019 Posts: 1 | It's a tough job, there are 70 spot welds, you'll probably go through 2 cutters drilling them out. Also handy is a spot weld chisel/seam splitter.
