Treated the corrosion where the ally wing touches steel sill.



These have been on a little while, rides very well and not firm at all.



Bit of rust where wing meets body



Finally got the light out but took the whole bumper off anyway, I think whilst it is off I will replace the two tiny intercoolers with a nice front mount if I can buy one second hand or cheaply enough, just missed a Forge one at a breakers for £70. With decent intercooler, bigger injectors and higher fuel pressure they can be mapped to just over 300bhp with standard internals (bam engine code)



This is the bottom of an ally wing, I wonder if the last edge is steel? Will use a magnet on them, you can tell the wing is ally though as very light, I wonder if the steel has stuck to the ally as the edges of the wings are powdery ally.



Inside the edge of wing, there is seam sealer round it so this is what makes me think some of it is steel?





Edge of wing. Will get it back to bare metal but need to check that the body shop I use knows how to work with Ally, he does a lot of vintage landies so he should be fine
