After the new sheetmetal was in shape, It was time to make "the notch"


Made a notch and tacked it in place, it looks a bit odd but the shape is like the original.


And again some trial fitting.

1/4 panel is welded up now. IRL it's pretty strait, even without filler.


Also started repairing the innerwing, here it's almost finished

Right innerwing is almost done, only the marked pieces need some love.

After the innerwing was done, it was time to start with the Porsche front beam.

Porsche sheetmetal underneed the spare wheel well


When the car is finished it should not have rake. Now it has a 3,6deg rake, this is why the arm has to be 3,6deg. as well.


Bend and shaped 3mm steel tacked in.


The innerwing has to come out a bid to reinforce the a-arm mounting point.

As I told earlyer, I had to widen the innerwing a bit, so I had to try it with cardboard first.


When the cardboard fitted, I made it out of sheetmetal and welded it in.



Then I tack welded the Porsche bracket in place. I just had to try the shockabsorber.

Thanks. After a lot of hours repairing invisible pieces, it is finally time to make some bigger steps.
