I did some more on Saturday before last but never got round to posting it, oops.

One of the things that has been sitting uncomfortably on my mind is the shape of the shroud as can be seen in the photo.  It looks like previous work has been done poorly as the aperture for the headlight is just plain wrong.







































This old picture shows the shroud looking bent out of shape with the headlight area looking higher on the nearside than the offside.  It has always troubled me so I thought I should have a look at it now.



















The photo above shows the top edge is not sitting well on the wing either.

I cut out sone of the metal where the shape distorts and also where it has been worked on previously.  Once done the wing bent into shape easily.



It felt like time to get the car out and swap it round so that I could work on the other side.


Starting to look like a car.


The height of the light apertures seems more equal but I am still unhappy with it as the nearside seems more compact than the offside.  I will procrastinate on this before I do anything.



I put the car back in the garage and promptly decided that I hadn't got the A post in the best position yet so I removed it.  Feels like one step forward and two back.
