Cheers Tim, will keep my eye out for some of that. Sounds like good stuff.

Got a bit more done to Baz earlier this week, unable to post pictures as Internet was playing up

There are two 'wing support brackets', one each side, these are welded to the lower edge of the front wings and bolt to brackets spot welded beneath the lower 'face' of the front cross member. Both of these brackets were in poor condition and could not be re-used, so replacements were fabricated.
In the top of the picture one of the original brackets can be seen, below this are the replacements, one viewed from each side;


These were spot welded in place, viewed from below;


And from inside the cross member;


Next the cross member cover was made, here you can see it held in place with screws, this allowed the front panel and bumper to be fitted, ensuring all was aligned before the cover was spot welded in place;


'Rivnuts' were fitted in the cover to accept the front panel fixings;


Sealer and paint will be applied to these parts soon
