well my new porta power showed up at work today so this evening i could get on with pushing out the drivers chassis leg
I actually found that there were NO spot welds attaching the chassis leg to the bulkhead!! i stripped some seam sealer off from inside the wheel arch and i could see where the spot welds had ripped off underneath as well!
so I drilled a couple of extra holes which will get plug welded, i also added some Kurust between the panels as there was a little bit of surface rust creeping in between them
then using an impact socket and a pair of deep welding clamps i found i could clamp the 2 panel surfaces together perfectly going through the strut hole
so tomorrows job is to actually plug weld the holes then crack back on sorting the inner wing
