heres how the slider looks when its on a stand, i need to do them this way as they are on and off a dozen or more times

bottom rear in position

you will need to add a strip along the seam to fix to the inner arch later.also drill the areas shown for spotting the wing to the rear 1/4. too often you see picks of supposed shops and on looking you find they have welded the panal on the outside of the seams and then ground them out, pure lazy bodging, also by spotting this way the weld is nearer to the outside of the seam and does help secure the join from movement. maybe only a little but it all helps

a good bead of adhesive on the inner supports. this stuff has about 20 mins playtime so no hanging about

then on with it, we know it fits and lines up as its been sorted but still chancy when youve got the glue on....

bottom edge clamped

now these wings are not the correct shape at the rear in so far as they are straight so what you have to do is secure and weld the top part above the false seam so its flush with the rear 1/4 then you can pull in the lower part below the seam(false) and weld this

inner lip welded to inner arch , this only needs tacking and then a good coat of seam sealant on both sides

lower lip here needs drilling quite high up as the lip that it fixes to is a bit short (its how vw do it to allow welding the rear arm brkt on)

and now spotted, mig wound up to get a good grip

wing now secured and the lower 1/4 fitted, i have brazed the short seam at the join of the lower/upper 1/4 at the very rear

so will post this up and then load a few more picks of the juicy bit
