Just read the whole thread, nice job! I have a question though. Have you modified the front wings or is this how MPi wings are to allow clearance for the front wheels?

I can't tell on the wings I removed from my car, there's not much left of them. My MPi is a lot worse than yours, the rust has gone right through the scuttle, upper dash rail and is running down the bulkhead.

Best
Pete

That's correct for an MPI - what's done is standard wings are cut back using a template, then strengthening strips added each side.

Catch 22 - the wings may buckle as a result, but the wings without the strips wont create a rust trp between to the 2 sheets of metal.
