Upper Front Inner Wing Repair

Before I fit the wing, I want to make some sort of panel to bring the inner wing and door pillar up to the wing.

I am not sure how this would have been originally, but as the wings and the top 6 inches of the inner wing were replaced by someone previously, I must assume this was just left.

At the same time, I may close up the petrol tank filler hole and breather pipe as the car came with a tank that is filled from lifting the bonnet.

Door Pillar to wing panel repair

The panel fitted between the door pillar and the wing is prone to rot at the bottom.  I haven't managed to find a replacement that I can buy, so decided to make it myself.

He is a close up of the rust.  Making a repair here is pretty tricky.  I started by making a template in cardboard and then shaping the metal slowly.

This repair took me at least 4 hours to make, but in am pretty pleased with the result, and it fits really well.
