I got a fender for my 83 from a pull it yourself yard for $25. That one only had about 6-7 bolts.

I also had to replace my front left fender (i didn't get hit though). I think it's like 8 10mm bolts. You got a good deal on your fender though. Mine was $50, but i was in a hurry to replace it so it didn't really matter.

dude, i JUST replaced my left fender, its actually a bitch. just make sure you dont break any, spray all them down with a good lube. and done forget the ones that hold the fender to the bumper. oh and you HAVE to remove the inner fender well, its easy just do it first thing.
