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 inner wing mounting 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.
