TR6 Decided to repair TR6 front valance rather than...

...trying to replace it with a new one. I'll be doing prep work all this week for a Sunday weld-a-thon.

Fender side that will need a patch -

Left side to be reattached -

Right side to be attached -

Hole to be welded -

Another whole to be welded -

good luck, I'm not much of a welder.

Are you planning to go without a front bumper?

Go slow and check alignment with other body panels and wings often.

The trick to patch work like yours is to make many small patches on a panel that fit together to complete the repair.

Don't try to complete the patch all at once or from a single piece of metal. Add a piece, add another piece, etc then grind out to blend it all together.

You'll have great results.
