Didn't quite get the inner wing section right on the first go, close but no cigar.

Refabricated the inner wing & fitted it, just waiting for the weld through primer to dry now before fitting the outer section.

Finished off the welding of that bit )
However my flux had dried out in the garage, tried to dilute it but it wouldn't tin the panel so looks like i need some more.

Brad - thanks for continuing to share photos of your progress with the build. Fantastic seeing the detail and effort taken in fabricating the repair sections. It's enough to get me motivated again!

Cheers, Tom

Yup. Thanks for the update.

I see why you bought this car now.
It was a good excuse to buy lots of new toys to play with.

Thanks Gents.

Took me all afternoon to make 4 plates for the spring hangers.

Great to see the excellent progress being made. It's clear you are getting a lot if satisfaction from all the detailed fabrication work. Wish I had the patience, but you can see how the labour charge accumulates for any restoration work !! Keep it up, some quality work going on. Won't be long before you are looking for your next project

Looks like something top secret going on there under cover

Might be installing his sequential gearbox mounts or is it a full transaxle set up.

He's doing what most of us do in our garages. He's hiding from his missus although the cover is a bit extreme.

It is quite sad for a Friday night though.

I think we need to organise an International intervention Mal to save him from himself. You bring the beer, I'll be the designated driver. We'll rendezvous at Brad's.
