Attacking the front corner


After removing some welding nuts and making new threads for the front wing, I was ready to start on the heaterchannel repair. My knowledge of opening up and closing spotwelded parts is very limited. But after a little experimentation, the drilling and opening of the spotwelded outer side of the channel went well. Next step is to fabricate the new outer side and adjust it. Struggeling to think reasonable from time to time, I will also remove the left front wing and do the repair parallell on both sides. Seeing my slave (Fürsten) producing repairpanels like he never done anything else, I can see a shimmer of light in the tunnel of rust...
