bugsntinas 29 Posted February 5, 2021 Is it possible to make an inner front from a sheet of steel. If poss would it be better to make it in one piece or several Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bugsntinas 29 Posted February 5, 2021 A b c d e f lol. I bought and fitted the wing rail last year but wasn't happy with it. The worst part really on my inner wing is all around the area near the front corner, headlight bowl etc. It is very scabby and wasn't happy with the result and the more i think of it the more it bugs me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheffieldcortinacentre 765 Posted February 5, 2021 You could get pattern upper corners, you'd need to be a good fabricator/panel beater to make one in one piece. If it needs a lot of repairs a full innerwing will be best ( there are 4 types MK3 pre & post facelift,MK4, Mk5 all differ in various areas) . Plenty of measuring required to ensure correct alignment especially the front cradle mounts ( a full innerwing will still be needed even if you only use above the chassis rail). Innerwings were only available from fords ( a partial which came down onto the horizontal part Inc the wing rail was available as a pattern part).

Dunno when I'll get chance to check & shipping won't be cheap I'd think! It would be the driver side. Yeah I'd say shipping would be a lot and now we have to pay tax etc on top. No hurry as I'm still a lazy sod Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
