The wing is a mile out of line, must have been off at somepoint if not replaced. If its been replaced with a non genuine wing then it will be a bitch to line up if at all possible.

Your wing looks to be way too high at the moment. To adjust it you need to slacken off all of the screws, including the ones along the edge of the bonnet shut. Firstly pull the wing downwards and tighten up the sill bolt.then work your way around to align the door to the wing. Obviously you need to take into account the body shut line whilst doing this, but you need to try and pull the wing forwards towards the headlight at the same time. You may have to slacken off screws to allow movement in some directions, but only just slacken them, dont loosen them off totally as you will loose any alignment that you have gained already.

Just spent ages readin through all this from start to finish and its L-E-G-E-N-D-A-R-Y.

If my one looks like this once i am done, i will be more than happy.

I believe the white and black theme is called "Stormtroopered Out", i assume thats why you put the sticker there.

Apologies if i copy this at all, dont be offended be chuffed that someone is wanting to copy .

Great job, look forward to seeing it in person.

To be fair welding is not that easy when you 1st try, I have a sneaking suspicion that that yellow paint makes it look better too lol, but good on you for giving it ago.

The welding on my old Mini was 10x worse than that and the previous owner called himself a 'welder and fabricator'..

Looks fine to me mate, good on you for doing it yourself!

slow the wire feed down a tad and make sure all areas being welding are bare metal.also make sure the earth on the welder has a good bare metal contact on the car body.

The wing is a mile out of line, must have been off at somepoint if not replaced. If its been replaced with a non genuine wing then it will be a bitch to line up if at all possible.

Your wing looks to be way too high at the moment. To adjust it you need to slacken off all of the screws, including the ones along the edge of the bonnet shut. Firstly pull the wing downwards and tighten up the sill bolt.then work your way around to align the door to the wing. Obviously you need to take into account the body shut line whilst doing this, but you need to try and pull the wing forwards towards the headlight at the same time. You may have to slacken off screws to allow movement in some directions, but only just slacken them, dont loosen them off totally as you will loose any alignment that you have gained already.


just read over your post again adrian... i remembered earlier that this wing has a painted on stripe, not like the vinyl that runs down the rest of the car.

I remember removing the vinyl strips, then getting to the wing and being all confused as to why this side was painted on and the drivers was vinyl.

do you think this means it is a non genuine wing, because if it is. i wont bother!

Painted on stripe? That's old school!

Well I would say looking at it that there is a good chance that its a non genuine wing but with a bit of manipulation you should be able to make it fit a bit better than it is currently. Genuine wings need a bit of adjustment generally too so its worth a go!
