The drivers guard is now stripped down and ready for some hammer and dolly work. I've almost got the top side fold running straight, but still needs a little bit more massage.
In the last photo the bottom rear corner of the guard had a huge section covered in bog. It was about 15mm thick and took a bit of effort to get it all off. Below is what I found underneath. My response to this: "If you don't know what your doin' don't @#*'n touch it!!!!
I've put the polished wheel arch trim on the guard to try and gauge how far out the original repair actually is. As you can see it's quite a lot!
