rear wing repair, or 'what I did at Christmas'!

Ps. A few too many malts!

Thanks for your kind comments folks, with a little polishing of the paint she will be OK. One thing that has shown up is that when I put the stripe on the driver's door I did not get it quite straight!! I will have to re do it when I do the wing...

Brian, what did you do where the outer arch and the inner arch meet? Weld the two together or is it a snug fit and just rust proof?

Jason,

I plug welded mine with a sealant in between.

thanks Jeff, I'm only guessing but would they have been spot welded when built? It would make sense (to me anyway) I only ask because I may only have a couple of years before mine need doing. Along with floors, sills, wings, boot lid, ............. You know the rest

Apparently so, although when I removed both my rear arches, there were no spots as they had already been repaired and only tacked along the edges.

I'm sure someone will confirm.

hi
pretty sure wings were spot welded to arches in factory

Hi Brian

I am glad you built up the courage to tackle that task. Looks a great job.
