had a good look at the nearside inner wing after first removing the outer wing and its well past repairing,
there's more fiberglass & filler than metal so a nos full inner wing will be going in, moving on to the mechanical side of things, I decided to strip down the front crossmember then remove it with the engine & box, all went well with the exception of the top shock mounts which were seized in place, I managed to remove one by soaking in penetrating oil, then put a G clamp on as tight as I dare & whack with my biggest hammer
however, the other side wasn't budging even after removing the crossmember & attacking it on the floor, so it had to be cut off using a hacksaw blade & plenty of patience
