Andy now time for some surgery..
Get the angle grinder ready..
After running the wirebrush in the bonnet gutter to clean up and reveal the spot welds
I chose to cut with a disk left of the gutter along the side against the front right wing.
Saving me the hassel of drilling the welds out like |I did on the sprite.
Also I ran under the headlight hole the cutting disk, but well on the wing side not damaging the front panel, or trying not to anyway.
Removed the external metal beeding and sliced through the wing and A-Panel which will be easy enough to remove later.
Ater removing the wing ended up removing the piece i was to lazy to drill out the spot welds on..
Slicing cacefully and ticking it off with a screwdriver in the length not sideways.
Otherwise you will just deform the inner wing plate thingy ma jiggy panel..
front wing long gone..
Lots of rust revealed under the front wing.
If I hadnt removed this wing It would have rusted through the new paint job in no time..
Window hook spot welds drilled out and starting the surgery..
litle by little corner removel checking there is nothing to accidentally cut away..
Bending up the the window hook.
Revealing probably more rust..
Window hook gone and the other closing panel under probaly 20 yrs gone..
