Status Summary: Front Pan and Front Inner Wings

I knew that the front pan etc had been repaired, and had planned with Barry that these repairs would be coming out (see panel list - already bought all of those bits). 
As shown here, the previous repairs were somewhat agricultural:

The main problem up at this end is that, either as a result of poor front end restoration, or more likely as a result of trauma, the front end is twisted.
One side is about 10mm higher than the other:

There are also various areas of corrosion / damage repair to the front inner wings. 
We had hoped to save the inner wings, but it now seems likely that new front inners and a-posts are the most sensible option. 
Panel cost of that is quite high, and of course it takes more time.

More investigation required before that decision can be made.
