Swifty: - Cheers.
The front arch work has been very tricky to do, but it is finally coming together nicely.
I remember calling your car "menacing" when it reached this stage.
So I am pleased that I've managed to maintain a vague family resemblance.

Deggsy - Welcome to my build thread.
This old photo is a perfect example of my point on your build thread about the rain channels…
Even if my boot area is watertight, there is still a gaping hole in the middle of the car.

Better Late Than Never:
I was just chilling out after dinner, when I noticed that it was actually quite nice outside.
I'm always allowed to excuse myself from family time if they decide to watch Coronation Street, so I nipped outside.
Mixed up some fibreglass filler for the bottom corner of the bonnet.
Plus the corner of the scuttle.
The bonnet will sit a little higher when the rubber seal is fitted, so this is getting there.
I also applied some 'normal' filler to the leading edge of the arch.
By now it was 9pm and the nicest it had been all day.
Unfortunately, the filler is taking a bit longer than normal to set, so it currently looks like this.
But it should be hard enough now for me to head back outside to put the covers on.
I'll start the sanding process tomorrow (weather permitting).
Until then, take care, Paul.
