Front wing has cancer

[spinna]

Oh dear i think my wing has seen better days, the 2 holes in pics i pushed through with my fingers so you just know its far worse than it looks.
Not sure whether to get a body shop to weld in new steel or try and source second hand wing. need to check other side too as thats probably as bad

Have a look on Gumtree.com, there's a few bits and bobs on there

Cheers guys, it is worse as i thought it would be, but on the up side the n/s front wing is in far better condition

i have not used any tools to prod at rust yet so when i do i think the wing will dissapear:lol

 

[firebobby]

If the rest of the wing is OK, then why not try getting it repaired, or if you are any good with the welder,you should be able to repair that

What size pipe will your bender manage?

2" all about the girth

hmmm, I could go down to 50mm I guess, do you know what wall thickness it can handle? Or is it a case of massahoosive lever reqd
When you thinking of this purchase? How much? Do you want a share holder ? :thumbs

 

[Fez_uk]

Thinking about getting it tomorrowish, Will have to see. Not sure on thickness but it's a old type manual hydraulic bender so should bend fairly thick stuff. Hopefully without too much flattening of the tube, Also worth noting max 90 degree bends.

Would like a share holder but with my plans it's best if I own it fully as it will be used for a while on weekends

A bit of lateral thinking....

Can't you buy plastic wheel arch extensions to cover the area:nenau

If so, you can first do a good solid repair, knowing that most of it wouldn't be seen under the flared arches.

just a thought, then that opens the door for wider wheels.:thumb2

EDIT there is a set for Mk I Patrol on ebay, £115

best regards,

My trol has o/g equipment plastic extentions which were hiding most of the rust. If i have no joy finding a wing i will see my local body shop but dread what they might charge
