More pictures (taken on my phone again so excuse the quality please!) of todays progress.
Not a lot got done as i'm on "light duties" after a minor op to ensure i don't need a 7 seat conversion for the 145 if you get my drift! ;o)
I removed the front wing and grille and spent most of the day cleaning off underseal and fabricating repair panels for the front valance as the most of it is very good and just the ends need repair so i am going to fix it due to the absence of a replacement!
I will probably also repair the pictured front wing as once again it is really good where its not rusty, but where it is gone its pretty bad with plenty of pin holes as i hope the pictures show.
Don't get me wrong, i would always prefer to repair an original panel than fit a replacement, its just that it is so time consuming getting it "right"!
