Im suffering from the dreaded wing droop. Is there something missing somewhere? has someone put on the wing incorrectly? Theres a nasty gap between the wing and the front valance but the other side is flush... My Landy is quite a straight looking example and this bugging the hell out of me.

DO I take the whole wing off and start again? Please help!

could glue it back up with tiger seal or if you want to drill holes and bolt/rivet do that

its probably age, metal fatigue etc, wing mounting points may have just stretched a little so you may just have to undo and re clamp them

I have droop issues too, and my wing is low on one side
it got worse when i refitted the wing so try removal and refitting, check the braces are there across the arch too.

Try loosening the radiator panel bolts and see if it will slide across towards the other wing , it is worth having the wings and the rad panel all fitted loosely prior to tightening with every thing lined up.
Inside of wing should run parallel to the outer chassis rail on both sides the front mountings on the chassis are slightly slotted as can be seen in this photo.

Also the holes in base of rad panel are larger than the bolts.
