Hello Ian,
Thanks for response ?
I have absolutely no intention of doing any form of slicing and dicing on the body.
Had a go at pushing that area up, but as can be seen in the photo that internal angle ‘bracket’ (cannot thing of its description), is for bolting the Mud Shield to the trailing edge of the inner arch that have captive nuts welded in place, doesn’t help.
May as well remove that as easy enough to replace.
Hello Ivor,
See my response to Ian.
I need to repair the inner arch first by welding new metal in before I can have a go, and remove that piece of angle in the photo I’ve just posted.
I think that angle piece prevented a previous owner from doing what you suggested, as when I tried pushing on that ‘dent’ it would not budge, hence all that filler.
Things on hold as busy painting window frames whilst weather permits.
Also gives me time to think about what to do.
A bit of slice and fill maybe, something I’ve become quite adept at doing.
Hello Hentzant,
Need to remove that piece of angle metal first, then some pushing and heaving and if that doesn’t work a little bit of L-grinder work with cutoff disk, ditto pushing and heaving then filler pieces welded in.
After painting done.
Thanks Dave,
Always wondered what it was like being in an ambulance with ‘Blues and Twos ‘ on full song.
Found out PM 31st July last year with myself on way to hospital, a normal journey of 40odd minutes only taking half that that day.
I was compos mentis all the way and as an ex-racing driver I could appreciate the level of skill the female probationary paramedic had in negotiating the traffic, only once having to hit the anchors no doubt due to some dozy driver getting in her way.
The rush waset a balloon inserted into one of the main arteries close to my heart as it was damn near totally blocked.
When I asked the specialist, a month after the procedure, he confirmed that he caught me just in time!
I required CPR during the procedure and couldn’t sleep horizontally for a month afterwards and did so in my armchair due to bruising of the chest area.
One of the nurses said I was lucky not to have any broken or cracked ribs as that happened often with patients of my age.
I think that episode had a psychological effect on me as for 11 months I had no interest in the car or much else other that turn half of the rear garden into a wildflower area and that kept me going, and has turned out better than I expected

Totally agree and easy to cut and shut the Mud Shield if needed.
