Project Madelaine (1970 snowberry white Morris Minor four door saloon)

I've been working on the panels first at college.

If a rear wing had rust all along the the bottom rear of it and it was rusty and perforated all along the mounting flange, you'd quite rightly throw it away and buy a new one wouldn't you?? Unless you were completely mad, or looking for a challenge to stretch your skills on the Advanced Year of the Vehicle restoration course at Mid Kent college, maidstone.

Wing is showing repairs to the flange here and the rear base. All sections were made up by folding a flange on the folding machine and then using the shrinker stretcher and a bit of hammer and stake/ dolly work to shape them, then carefully butt-gas welded in with minimal filler rod.

No Pics!

Much more satisfying doing it that way than buying a new wing though!

I've been having some issues with the upload photo option and Opera. Will try it on another browser.

But, yes, I agree, uploading is a far better option than linking to a photo sick bucket type thingy but was the only option that seemed to work today. However, sadly I have run out of time today to post further so will do so later in the week.
