It started off as a tidy up the top plates looked a bit iffy,Had a closer look and could see the the wing rails were going so took the plunge and took the wing off

Hi guys a quick question,when i was removing the wing,after wire wheeling the paint off to find the spot welds there were some numbers stamped on the flange in between the spot welds is this normal?

I reckon so as I've got numbers on my original wing next to the spot welds.

I believe they are date stamps ,only on original front wings and on lip of rear arch

Yes its the only way cut any rust out or it will keep sreading,i keep finding bits that need to be cut out but just got to keep going until its all gone should last a few years more then
