Aluminium Panel Beater / welding shop on the Island

[pquin]

Looking for recommendations (and options) for repairing the crunch that just appeared on the tropical roof panel of my 109. It's pretty bad but the person with the right skills and patience might be able to anneal and bang it back into something close to normal. Also looking for possible replacement panels for sale. I just need the front section so 88 or 109 would work. (ad in the Parts Wanted section). Maybe someone with experience in aircraft body repair?

On Bring-A-Trailer they call that "patina" :roll:

...maybe there's a guy who fixes downed aircraft aluminum... :)

I can't see the rest of the photo, but can you remove that section from the rest of the roof? If it's thick enough to weld, you would do the best straightening possible and replace that corner with new alloy.

You might have to have all new aluminum bent up to replace it.

There is an aluminum trailer builder near parksville who could fix that. Cannot remember the name of the shop.
