Hi.

I did some write ups when I fitted my equinox bodywork, but alas I didn't do one for the side panels. They are pretty straight forward.

Best to bond and rivet them on, closed end rivets stop water getting into the chassis. You need to make a template for the holes around wishbones etc. lots of masking tape is recommended when drilling/cutting the fibreglass so it doesn't splinter. Make sure the crease in the side panel lines up with dash edge of the scuttle and the vertical chassis tube below.

Best to temp fit then try the scuttle and back panel on to make sure everything lines up.

If you have a look at the Facebook link below there's some guides I posted in the photo galleries of fitting other panels.
