Swifty - I will definitely end up with a 'finish', although I doubt it will be 'fantastic'.

But don't worry, I will still take pride in whatever standard I manage to achieve.

Especially as the filler work I am doing now reminds me of just how much chopping & changing I did!

Still chipping away…
There was one small dip/dent in the bonnet that needed to be fixed.



Which is easier to see after the first round of sanding.



So that has been filled.



And sanded back.



I also sanded down the rear of the bonnet on the passenger side.
( As that was pretty lumpy due to all the 'cut & shut' work in that area. )



Filled and sanded that too.





Finally, I tried to improve the rear driver's side arch, where more Frankenstein wounds were inflicted.







Once I have tackled the worst of defects I will get some more etch primer on and see where I stand.

Unfortunately, the more time I spend up close to the bodywork, the more imperfections I see.

But I simply do not have the time to get OCD about chasing a glass like surface at this stage.

So I'll just see how close I can get over the next few filler sessions.

Cheers, Paul.
