This relates to the thread "They are still out there !" showing why some cars take longer to restore than others.....
Things are moving slow but steady on the various components of my Seven. I am pleased to say that one of the rear wings is now finished and restored, with work started on the other.
Both were severely trimmed (dare I say butchered?) to remove corrosion on the inside to the extent that there was no lip and only remnants of the rear plate and plenty of extra bolt holes for good measure.
I made a heavy form jig to hold everything square and made up the repair section and welded it into the wing.

Once this was done I made up the back panel by forming a wired edge and spot welding it to the wing.
One wing down, one to go.
Cheers,
Stephen
