Didn’t have much time to work on the car today, so measured the area that needed replacing on the inner wings to make a cardboard template. If I get it all right, I should be able to flip it over to cut the one for the other side. Well thats the plan any way!
The remains of the existing inner wing were removed by drilling out the spot welds. My trusty old drill is starting to get a bit tired, and the drill bits don’t last long drilling through weld either. This gave me enough room to measure up accurately (ish).
After measuring it all up carefully I made a rough template from some cardboard. I used this to get the curved shape of the wings drawn out, and made a final template. This was scored along all the folds and ready to test fit.
And there you go. It fits. Now all I’ve got to do is make a metal one. As it’s getting colder and darker as winter draws in, I need to sort out the electrics in the garage. When we bought the house, it had a single 40 watt bulb and one plug. There’s now 4 striplights, but it’s still a bit dark in there. Having no plug sockets near the bench is a pain, so I started running cables ready to install some sockets and the little electric anti-frost heater.
