7210A15 R.R. HEADLAMP HOUSING/FRONT WING CROSSMEMBER 7210A16 R.R. WING LOWER CROSSMEMBER Check if any of the connected parts are deformed by checking body alignment dimensions. Use appropriate measurement tools (reference rigs, templates or gauges).Straighten the body if necessary.
1. Use a circular saw to follow the cutting lines shown in the figure. Take great care not to damage the reinforcement underneath.2. Remove the side panel.Use a rotary brush to remove paint to gain access to the weld spots.3. Use a chamfering machine to remove the weld spots shown in the figure.Drill out any weld spots not accessible to the chamfering machine.Use a chisel and mallet to remove spots drilled previously.Trim the cut edges from the car.
Straighten the car edges using a mallet and profiled stake.Use a grinding wheel to remove the spot weld residues.Use a rotary brush to clean treated areas.1. Apply the electroweldable paint finish.

1. Take the measurements carefully and cut the replacement innner panel as required keeping a section of panel for the overlap.2. Use a grinding wheel to remove the corrosion-proofing from around the inner and outer edges of the replacement inner panel.3. Drill out the holes indicated.Apply electric weld paint finish to the edges to be welded.
1. Correctly position the inner panel on the vehicle and secure it using self-locking clamps.Check the alignment and ensure the surrounding gaps are even.2. Use a circular saw to trim the panel along the join line to remove any excess parts.3. Use a MIG welder to fill the holes made previously.4. Use the MIG welder to seam weld the join profile.
Correct any deformations in the panel using a profiled stake and mallet.Use a grinding wheel to level the welds1. Use a rotary brush to clean the newly-welded areas.
