Headlamp Holes!!!!

I need a bit of advice being a rooky. Could anyone please tell me the best way to repair the front of my wings, bit where the headlamp bowls fit to. Nice bit of technical speak I know but I can't think of the official name!!!

Thanks

that sounds pretty correct terminoligy ;-)
The unfortunate thing is that if the wing is rotted around the headlight the only good way to repair is to replace. If you are very good at DIY then you can cut the rot out and weld in a new pice of steel... (not likely to be worth the effort) or just bodge the holes up with fibreglass and/or filler - it will soon show signs of rust again but it puts off the inevitable replacement

They aren't too bad I guess. I think I'll get a piece welded in and see how we go. The rest of the wings are solid, so shame to get rid. Well what's the worse that can happen....if all fails hunt for some better condition ones.
