So, back in and determined to make the most of the New Year buzz.  I started looking at the wing in more detail and became convinced that the new repair section that I added had a larger return than the original wing so I cut off 1cm and welded it back together.


This photo shows the underside of the wing with the holes I added earlier to allow for drainage when the car eventually runs.

Today I got the wing back on to  see if I had taken enough off the return before I fully welded it up.


I'm feeling a little happier with things as the swage line meets reasonably well and the shape of the top of the wing, door and rear wing looks surprisingly well.


This is the door to the rear wing swage area, looking promising.



However, the front wing is still sitting proud of the door so I starting looking into that in more detail.


With the door open and from under the wing I can see that there is a little room to get the wing in further.



However, when I fit the sil section I see that the door is set too far in at the bottom so I think I need to work on that next.  Not sure where I'm going to get the adjustment from but I'm sure it'll come.
