Front offside wing repair pt4...

Spot, spot, spot... a day out of the garage with parts that needed spot welding. Over to Dick's garage to use his welder.

Started by marking out where I needed the swages at the ends. We then starting at the centre point on the edge down towards the ends removing cleco's and clamping on the way to ensure a good contact.

With the front section done we repeated the process towards the back. After a break to the let the welder cool down and give our arms a rest - (it's bloody heavy!) we flipped the wing to see the overlap and welded along the flange edge.

Even thou there's still a far amount the finishing to do - the results look good.
