Photo please

If anyone can supply a photo of the dogs leg transition to inner wing it would be really helpful it seems obvious but would like to make sure also how the wheel arch is finished 

Thanks in anticipation

Suggest you maybe grab a photo from the CAF / Wags restoration guys in the relevant thread. I tried taking a photo of mine but the rear wheel is in the way and my car although un-messed-with in that dogleg area has a coating of underseal to the wheelarch.

PS. but all those gaps need to be closed up IMO, such as between the inner and outer wheelarch panels, going by mine anyway.

This is the best I could do with the wheel still in place.

Mine is just the same as AndBir's. It's original and not been messed with. Except it's plain black underseal and doesn't photograph well.

The outer wheelhouse lands on that horizontal sill section as per his photo, closing off where yours has a gap. The wheelarch lip section just sort of peters out in a raggedy curve, as you'll be aware it's the outer wheelhouse tucked under the rear quarter panel and a bunch of not-too-flash welds joining them.

That's one area that benefits from a general tidy-up during restoration time.

Quality restoration work such as the CAF / Wags project raise the bar over what the factory did half a century ago. And I'm sure anything you do to that area to close the gaps and join everything together as one will be good work judging by your diligent repair work to date!
