Outer seals, body Mount's it had the works.

The terrano is not so bad but needs some work.

[jims-terrano]

Nice work :clap

[solarman216]

Welcome mate you will fit in well here, Rick

[Banshee]

I feel my first post was slightly silly now looking at how experienced you are.

Thats some cracking repair work there pal!!!! If you've already met MadMark you're already in safe hands :thumbs

Nice pics from the plains too buddy, bloody land rovers :lol :lol

[jims-terrano]

Any chance of a close up of the repairs to the front wings please.

Cheers

[Blocky10]

Hello and welcome. Loving the thread already. Straight in to business:thumbs

[Madmark]

Yep met Tim today and gotta say the wings are perfect and some good money to be made there. Hoping to meet up again with him.for some local laning especially as his mrs got one too. Thinking mini t2 meet lol here in sunny dorset

[Tim Gilbert]

Nice work :clap

Sorry Jim I don't have any close shots. But if you're ok to wait a few weeks I have two silver one's to rebuild and will take some of them lol.

Just a note even tho I can spray paint. I didn't paint mine. The other half's son-in-law work's for a body shop

Haha yeah I guess you will be fixing another pair, not often you see solid terrano wings these days.

Ace a paint sprayer in the family, great stuff.

How did you fix the wings, did you fibre glass them or weld in new metal?

Welded them up. Used galvanised steel more so because it was free but also it won't rot that section as quick. It's a bit messy to weld but the end result is ok. Can take some pics of them fitted if that's what your looking for too?

Thinking about doing a similar repair, did you cut the new metal into strips to make the shape and contours?

I'll be using plain steel plate, galv is rather nadty when being welded.

Welcome bud :thumb2

[zippy656]

Welcome Tim
Think I've seen you in trowbridge,

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Yea galvanised is abit scruffy to work with. Yea I kinda did cut different parts to get the right shape around the bottom edge and the lip. Stopping it from warping due to the heat and weld shrink is a challenge.

[zippy656]

That's cause I've nicked it!

[Monaro Pete]

That's cause I've nicked it!

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Welcome along Tim. I see the banter's started already :D

Nice fabing by the way.

I agree with using galvanised steel. I used to get sheets of the stuff when I fabricated FOC.

I found that a good grind back & changing discs frequently helped prior to welding. Then a quick spray of galv spray after cooling helped with rust.
