Toledo front panel diagrams?

#1 Post by cliftyhanger »

I spent yesterday welding up the ns inner wing sections on my Toledo. This started when I came to change the front shock/spring, the os was all ok, but the ns had a small rust stain on the (original) underseal. That underseal hid a few sins, and it took me all day by the time I had dropped the suspension, wire brushed all the underseal off with the grinder, got remains of underseal out of my eyes/ears/nose (despite glasses and face shield) and then templated and welded it all up.

Anyway, while I was under there I poked a bit at the headlights. There is nothing much holding either one in place. Is there supposed to be a panel connecting the headlamp support panel to the wing? Or does it all hang off the front inner valance?

To be honest I am amazed the headlights have not just fallen out :shock:

Any pics/diagrams advice etc would be very handy, then I can start fabricating.

Cheers

Headlamp support is all independent of the wings. The ends of the inner front valance should look like this:

Ah, that makes life easier, there may no be as much missing as I thought!
I will pull the lamps and bowls sometime, and set to work on them.
Many thanks!
