I need to find out if the front fenders are welded on, or do they unbolt?
 
I've got the two door.
 
The one took a bit of a hit and thought it would be easier just to take the fender off for the repairer....

Hi
 
The front guards are spot welded along the horizontal lip just under the bonnet (when closed).

Spot welded along the top of the lip like Paul said. They are also welded around the front headlight down to the bottom of the front panel. You can see the join. There are three bolts in the rear of the panel behind the splash guard that attach it to the firewall and it's brazed along the bottom in front of the door.
