This rust needed tackling.
I cut out the worst affected area of the outer wing.
Scraped out the glue bonding the inner and outer wings to be able to weld in a new patch.
Making up a template for the patch using the dirty finger method.
The patch once cut out.
Tacked in place.
Welded up and dressed.
Then cut out some more.
New pieces cut out.
Then welded in, I didn't take the lip right down to the bottom of the arch as it just seems to work as a dirt trap.
Next a coat of marine epoxy paint, inside and out.
PU sealant used to fill the gap between the inner and outer wing.
Dolphin glaze filler applied in a couple of places.
Sanded down.
Masked up.
