Great job Bob, I see a new career in your future - "Symbolic recovery
artist" :)   Seeing your photo reminds me to take my 85 308 out today -
thanks!

Got it all back together and cleaned up.  Very satisfied with the result.
The car had a slight bulge in that corner along the black line, so the edge
of the wheel well didn't look quite right.  Essentially, the support
structure pushed the sheet metal out too far, making the leading edge of the
wheel well stick out.  In rebuilding the support structure, we made it a
half inch or so closer to the frame, which pulled the sheet metal in  giving
the edge of the wheel well a clean line and make it match the other side.

Good to get the Mistress back on the road.  Beautiful day yesterday here in
SoCal and she loved running through the gears, howling with delight.
