Hey Spanners that is cool of you, thanks alot - you must have liked the last beers!! I'm going to fill it as a quick bodge, just to get me through the winter but in the new year I may well take you up on that - I can check out your 8 too....

Need to get the wing back on pronto, as I've been having to drive around without it for the last few days - only a matter of time before the police have a word

One fairly permanent way to repair a lacy piece of metal like that without welding is to laminate fibre glass matting behind it. Obviousaly it's fine on a wing, it isn't fine on a structural part.

Meticulously clean all the rust of the panel. Then give it a light coat of etch primer with a rattle can. Put masking tape over the outside of the holes. Then lay fibreglass mat on the inside and resin it. Once the fibreglasas is hard you put a skim of filler on the outside and sand it.

If the wing is then properly painted and sealed the repair will last pretty much indefinitely. It'll onl;y bubble through if the rust wasn't removed properly or if you fail to seal the bare metal.
