Front Inner Wing Repairs


So, I have finally found the time to remove all of the poorly fitted repair panels from the front of the car.  You can see below a trial fit of the wing to see the panel will fit with the wing and bonnet.



Here is a mock up with both wings fitted, this has highlighted some critical issues that the wings were different heights and the bonnet did not fit.  This can be adjusted during the assembly.


Here is the driver side top repair panel and front curved panel welded in place.  This took a lot of checking with the nose clamped in place to ensure a good fit with the bonnet.



 Here is the passenger side stripped down to reveal later rot issues that require attention.






Below is the finished panels in place, and fuel tank in to ensure it fits.  Next job to take it off the chassis again to get everything up front blasted and painted.
