The horror that awaited us on removal of the old wing, The wing rail near bulk head had rotted away, the drivers A pillar had suffered the well know Ford tin worm, and the headlight bowl also suffered from tin worm, But i had faith in Aston and knew he would not be beaten |
After hours of work removing the rusty metal and re welding in new metal the drivers side is painted in etch primer and seam sealed, all that's left is stone chip to be painted on And the trial fitting of the new wing, |
 |
 |
The trial fit of the wing is perfect, No adjustment needed, |
The pattern wing is such a close match to the original Ford one that the curves round by headlight are perfect along with the swage lines down rest of wing. |
 |
 |
The passengers side was in an even worse state, |
The battery tray has been removed, due to the battery being boot mounted, the double layer of metal where battery tray fixes had corroded so we removed the affecting metal work and have replaced with new |
