'83 245 Fender replacement? 200

Hello all, just a quick question how hard is it to R&R driver's side front fender? I'm thinking it would be easier/cheaper ($35 bucks) to pick one up at a P-N-P (same color even), than having it worked on. Thanks for any help/quick tips... I know there are all the bolts on top in the engine bay, just a little worried about how it's mated to the front frame, bumper, etc...
Regards,
JC

I used a hammer and chisel to cut the small tack welds. very clean.

Not that hard- the fender is mostly bolted in place. There are a few small welds you will need to cut. Can be done with hand tools (i.e. hacksaw). It is not necessary to re-weld on the install- just bolt it in.

Thanks guys! I just removed the damaged one in my garage, (about 30 mins)! No welds at all to separate, just bolts everywhere. You have to remove the front bumper cover to get access to the lower front fender bolts. Now to hit the yards this weekend...
