Offering up the new repair panel seemed to suggest all was well.
Getting everything in line and moulded into shape took a lot of time.
You might be able to see the gap at the top of the wing widens right where I have welded the new panel to the original A-post. At first I wasn't sure if this was the wing or the A-post. I couldn't understand why the gap was there as the original metal curves in as well.
This meant I had to put a whole load on new metal to rebuild the apex of the curve.
One of the final jobs was to crimp the flange into place. A pair of pliers and a block of wood was called for.
