I picked up a new old stock nearside wing from Northern Jaguar and a used offside wing from Worcester Classic Spares. Had them both dipped and electrostatic primed by SPL in Dudley. Fantastic job of removing any rust, however it unfortunately removes all the lead loading round the sidelight pressings too. Todays job was to lead the joints again and weld up the hole in the offside wing where a mirror had been fitted. In the process discovered some rusted pinholes in the old stock wing so cut that out and welded in new metal. That wing was actually from a MK7 so needed narrowing between the headlamp and radiator aperture and they have semaphore indicators so I need to make a bulge to mount the indicator. A job for tomorrow.
