So wings ready to go could concentrate on getting front end of the car sorted. Car was brought back to mates and put on railway sleepers to keep the car level while work was going on



The dashboard was removed along with 20 odd years of wiring and add on's



With all wiring out of the way could have a proper look under the bonnet and be sure nothing was going to be accidentley cut in the process, had a bit more banging and poking around the front end of the car to see how bad things where and.....




On the face of it the nearside doesnt look to bad, amazing what a bit of bog can do though




So both sides gone as bad as they where just as well I pulled the car off the road when I did, and refused temptation of a lap around silverstone at ford fair 2 weeks previous due to engine problems

Next step was getting the lot out of there, Car had been bogged and failed to stop the rot so if a jobs worth doing its worth doing properly. And where any cossie's concerned this has to be the case so outer wings where removed and cleaned up to find the spot welds




Can see how bad now the inner wings where. a bit of this was now carefully cut out to give better access to the spot welds, now you see it



and now you dont



this gone any spot welds where cleaned up with a wire brush along the chassis leg and body of the car



Until again we where able to pry the remaining piece off and expose the chassis leg




this process was repeated for the near side until the front end of the car was looking just a bit bare



Next updates the refitting of the wings its fag break now though all this typing isnt good
