I have replacement rear wings for my 1972 GT6 Mk3, looks like I'm going to need them with the amount of collision damage and rust I have found. I know the vertical seams on the top are one of the edges and the seam between the rear light panel and valance, but I have never removed a welded on body panel before. Any tips or tricks on the best way to get the old wings off?

The rest of it is all pretty much the same: spot welds also along the sill, up the "B" post, etc., with perhaps a small spot or two with a bit of brazing at the very top of the B post and possibly in a spot or two on the sill, all of which should be easy enough to spot with paint removed.

On my '69 there were over 100 spot welds for the rear wing. I assume it might be similar on a Mk3.
