Hi, I'm in Hong Kong this weekend, and last week in Madrid, so i haven't been able to work on the car for a while.

Here are some old photos from the body restoration all those years ago.The rear wheel arch was rather tricky, I thought.
Rear wings for the MKII aren't available so I was going to replace the lower half. This was roughly cut off and the inner arch damage was more obvious to see.
With an inner arch repair section attached, the rest of the rust was removed and replaced with a patchwork quilt of bits of sheet steel.
The area behind the wheel at the bottom of the wing was so far gone on both sides I had no idea what shape it should be, so both sides received a different approach, neither probably anything like what it should be, but you can't see it when the wing is on.
