I am in the process of getting the body sorted on my g and so far the back is coming together. One area that i need help on is the wheel arch extensions. Three of them are in one peice and just need a new layer on the inside and tissue on the outside. Unfortunately the driver side front wing is in two bits with a chunk missing.

Does any one have a drivers side front wing that i could borrow for a few weeks so i can join my two duff bits into one good bit. Obviously the wing can be in an old condition as long as i can mate up the lower front section and the back.

I am based just below Oxford but my brother is by Heathrow and P's are in hereford and P in Law is in Camarthan so could pick up and return the wing any where with in an hour of this coridoor.

Only other option is to tie both parts to my wing and then over mould with wood to make a form / register and then glass the inside do-able but not as nice as doing it on a free standing wing.

from the Vulcan "live long and prosper" also the slogan of the Housing and Mental Health charity Gofal based in Bridgend. I met the farrier some 10 years ago and tried to buy the swb soft top which is a diesel unfortunately he changed his mind about selling it and now both the the vehicles which were running then years ago are scrap.

Bit of a hit and miss translation thats more like a long time ago, healthy Lion (Llew iach) as "Llewyach" no body has heard of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mind you the best part is the missus spoted the more common use of 'tes' straight away ( thats farming stock for you).
