I have been really bad.  I have been in the garage but I got out of the habit of writing up my exploits.  Three weeks ago was the first time I got in there though so it hasn't been too long.

I picked up with the front wing and cut off the lower edge and replaced it with a piece I made.  It went surprisingly smoothly and produced a lovely gap with the door.  I spent some time tidying up the welds and beating it into shape as all the welding had taken its toll on the wing.  It still isn't pretty but it is roughly in line and so I leaded the joins.  I didn't find the leading that easy to do so will look to finish with a skim of filler.

I also fitted a return on the lower section of the wing which naturally had an impact on the hinge movement so I had to get the hammers out again but got there in the end.

The line along the side of the car looks good now

I then turned my attention to the rear wing and started by cutting off the rotten section at the lower  front.  The new section welded on easily enough but as with the other side I had to take a section out of the top half to get the door shut line to a suitable state.

I trial fitted the B post at this stage and it went in a lot easier than the other side did which was good.

Then I fitted the door lock and catch plate to ensure correct alignment then welded the B post on.

I have always been conscious of some heavy corrosion on the top of the wing where a catch for the hood was mounted and decided to cut the area out and replace it.

The rear door gap looks good as well having fully welded the joins up.

That was all two weeks ago  In the last two weeks I took out a section of the lower wing behind the wheel arch that was very corroded.

I started to replace it by welding in the flat section on the underside of the wing.  I enjoyed making this section although it took some time.

The end result is cool though.
