Inner Wing Assy

[cleggy 3]

Ive got one of these but drivers side anyone done a thread on what's involved in swapping?

[Tom Fenton 1,536]

A lot of work to do it properly, unless the turret is rotten or damaged I would not personally fit the entire piece. It's easy enough to make a repair section for the area that usually goes rotten.

[cleggy 3]

It's not rotten there's just a bit of a bend in the one that's on the car at the moment! Had the part a few years now in the house, been meaning to have a crack at it for ages

[cleggy 3]

A bend I didn't notice when I bought it, the perils of buying in the dark I guess

shouldn't be that bad to do but you will need to drill all welds from chassis leg to do and make a jig so everything lines up. you say its bent where as if its the chassis leg then fitting a new side wont loose bend.

[welshpug 1,647]

Where's the bend? most likely ahead of the subframe mountings, better to get it on a jig and pull it straight, then fix any rust.

[cleggy 3]

It's not the leg, it's a crumpled mess behind the headlight! Botched up by previous owner I think

I'll post a picture in the morning, my mechanic mate wanted to cut a bit out of the new bit and stitch it in

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

the leg goes all the way to headlight panel

I'll post some pictures in the morning

My thread may help you explain about half way down.

I would not replace the turret for what you are describing. It would be like amputating your leg for an ingrowing toenail. Just repair the bit that needs it!

[cleggy 3]

Haha sound I'll take a look!!

im in the rotten inner wing club, does nobody make a repair panel as mine have been heavily bodged/ fibre glassed by previous owner

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

I know someone that has brand new panels but not cheap

[cleggy 3]

There's a fella getting rid of a load on one a Facebook pages

[cleggy 3]

.

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

yep that's my mate

[jock 0]

it's probably the lad i spoke to on facebook earlier in the year, i asked him a few times for pictures and prices but he's never bothered getting back in touch

be nice to find a company that could make a good quality repair panel, its easy just to put sheet steel on but it just doesn't look right

[jock 0]

Sorted Cheers lads

[jock 0]

Cleggy, do you not fancy selling that drivers side complete panel

[cleggy 3]

Ideally wanna fit it to mine to be honest!! Thats been the plan and that cost me a lot of money as its a genuine Peugeot part

Arie Plonk, a bloke on the european 205 parts group on fb is making the inner wing repair panels as we speak.
