Don't worry Lookas, I won't stop until he is perfect.
I just wish that the kids who vandalised him hadn't done quite so much damage.
There are more dents than there is rust

A bit more progress today. Got busy with the filler and the sand paper on the rear roof pillar I had to repair  The shape is pretty much there, just needs a little fine tuning  |

Right, update time. The passenger side front wing was rotten, so it had to come off. The bolts at the top came out ok, but the self tappers at the bottom were a bit stubborn and a sod to get to. So I improvised. Here is the progress Stuyizz was talking about. A new style of fender flare maybe? ;D  As you can see, the top rail is a little grotty looking. A quick going over with a wire wheel on the grinder bought it up like this  Only a couple of holes in the rail so it shouldn't take much to fix. Inner wing looks pretty good  Poor old car looks kind of sad thought  |

Brilliant progress!  Are you still in touch with the previous owner, wonder what he/she would make of all your hard graft?! |

If I saw the previous owner, I'd probably punch him ;D
lookas, the wing is made by a company called Hadrian panels, if you can find a distributor in your country they should be able to get one for you.
There is a guy selling them on ebay, but he is expensive

Front wings for Avengers used to be hard to find, when I did mine it took 2 years to find and pick up 2 wings. The ASOC sells them now, but you really need to be a member. Worth it for the contacts though.
