I had a few work problems Saturday morning, but managed a few hours in the afternoon. I pushed the car out into the sun and carried on with the wing I had started. I cleaned the remainder of the paint off, then sat down with the hammers to sort out the creases in it. The dent in the arch took ages to hammer out and match in with the rest of it, but I was more than happy with the result. It’s not perfect by any stretch, but it’s not bad for an amateur.

There were a good few dents in the curved lip at the front of the wing which were much easier to do as you could get a dolly under there easily. A few on the edges were much harder as you just could not get anything behind them. I popped them back out and hammered them back in again. I was unhappy with the joins between the wing and the extension at the bottom, so I decided to weld them together to smooth it out. There was a split on the back as well, and the hole where the aerial was, so a quick half hour with the mig with plenty of time for it to cool down between welds and it was ready for the grinder. It will have to wait for next week tho, as Poppy came home and wanted to help me. She vacced the dirt up off the floor after I swept it out and helped push the car back in. She’s strong for a 3 year old!
