As a followup to my previous post, we managed to find new parts for both the right and the left front wings. The right had been out of stock for quite a while, but the workshop managed to find one NOS somewhere in the UK.

The left one has now been mounted as well as the repairs to the sills. Luckily, no major disasters were discovered underneath. However some old patchy repairs were finally done properly as far as I can see. You can watch pics at http://www.classicarco.com/ga.php?al=34, Should have loaded them in here but have forgotten how to do it.

As I am no specialist in bodywork and welding, I had to refer this job to professionals. From the pictures, what's your impression? Does the work look convincing? Any questions to ask them or comments to make? Grateful for feedback from the community!

Cheers, Ola.
