Well to cut a long story short guys I was crashed into by an absolute moron of a French guy about 3 Months ago!

So I decided to set too and repair it myself! This may not seem much to many of the guys on here, however I have never repaired a car panel in my life.

Here are a couple of after the incident photos, before repair.





So I decided to set too and repair her myself, so here is the removal of the wing.





I decided to set too and have a go at drilling the cracks on the bumper and using some epoxy to repair it, and it worked out great, but you have to work quick with this stuff! 60 seconds lol



Now comes the replacement of the wing, after preparation of the inner wing etc, and purchasing myself a MIG welder off the bay and self teaching to do plug welds, that can be tricky on car panels!

 

Well done for giving it a go ,best way

 

Mocking up the new wing!



Sorry didn't get any photos of my welding! however this is how she looks
so far!



Ready for paint and some TLC to make her all beautiful again!

Thanks for looking and I will keep you guys updated if your interested!

Cheers, Lee.

 

Never going to learn if I don't try, but I definitely need more welding practice! No doubt owning a Ford it will come along nicely lol

 

Very true,are you going to do the paint work

 

Shame about he crashing into you.Well done for attempting to repair it yourself.

 

No mate, Im prepping it all myself, however I don't have the facilities to spray it and there is no covering it up if it goes wrong!

She is getting a new engine in the next few months so going to give the bay a spruce up myself while its out.

 

Apparently if your not indicating on a roundabout in France then you can go in any direction! At which point I pointed out he was on the A43 not in France, stupid man!

 

Good job on doing it yourself.Welding is something I'd like to learn.
