After working on the rust with a wire brush, I found the extent of the hole at the rear of the wheel arch. |
| A patching plate was cut and here it is being offered up to check for fit. |

|
The first run of spot welds ... |
| ... followed by the mig welder to finish around the edges. |

Then I had to repair the inner wheel liner. Here, I’ve cut out the basic shape and I’m checking it for fit. This was the second side so I was working more quickly here! |
| Eventually I’m happy and the welds go on. The mig’s earth clamp is visible here. |

| A closer view with a finishing weld run showing through from underneath. |

Here it is after two coats of light blue Hammerite. This area should last a long time as it is enclosed by the wing when fitted. |
