Great to see a lovely car saved like this......your doing a great job there. I noticed a dent on the other rear wing, did that have to come out before you fitted the rear panel or does it not present a problem?

Great work fella! Thanks for keeping us posted, especially the details of the slam panel. I think mine will need to come off and it's good to get a rough idea of where the spot welds might be.

This is great stuff! I guess most people wouldn't have thought it was worth it but it's lucky there's guys like you with the skill to save another one from the crusher. Top work!
