Re the fender. One of my Drophead Coupe fenders was so badly bent that I
could not hammer it out. I ended up cutting out the section from just
forward of the firewall to the bottom of the headlight bucket ( inner half
of the fender). I had a local sheetmetal shop roll the proper curve into a
new sheet and I cut , fitted and welded it in place. We used a good fender
apron to determine the proper curve of the fender.
If its' the outer part of the fender ( over the wheel ) it would be a bit
more difficult but could be done.
Interestingly Morgan fenders are made from two different gauges of
sheetmetal. The outer section is 20 gauge and the inner section ( that
triangle section under the headlight bucket ) is 16 or 18 gauge. Thats one
of the reasons I couldn't;t straighten out the dent.
Okay on the tranny .
