Offside rear pillar
Offside seam to the repair panel that joins the rear wing to the sill section - Its important that the area is well prepared prior to tinning the area with solder paste
Loaded and profiled back
Final area for lead loading in this session is the largest
Rearward section of the offside rear wing - This has been scraped then previously poorly repaired
Whilst the panel carries structural strength in the attempt to repair the damage the metal has been stretched then to reduce the stretching has been forced inwards of the original profile hence all the undulations in the panel
There's also a repair where a aperture hole had been drilled then welded closed
And the seams on the rear nose section that had been added under the rear lamps
Area cleaned back initially with P80 discs on the DA sander then a rotary wire brush in the drill to clean out undulating areas
Larger areas are better tackled in smaller sections rather attempting to undertake the area in one hit
Just the lower sections to complete this morning
