Bought a new front apron to replace the rusted on the car, but the more i look at it it seems the part the fenders bolts to seem to point inward, and the current front apron had +1cm of bondo on the lower corners.

Does anyone of you know any pdf or webpage where one might find measurements of a 1302, front half of the car?

Awesome!
Many tanks to all of you! Very Happy

Finally cut the front apron of today. The car definitely been crashed sometime in the past, and the repair behind the front apron is.... Amateur-like...

The new fenders won't fit really well to the front apron, starting to think the sides have been deformed outward by the crash, and that is the reason for all the bondo on the fastening flanges of the fenders.
