Wednesday - Part 2:
I was planning to add some fibreglass to the underside of the bonnet anyway (as it still 'dips' despite the previous matting I added).
So I figured while I was making a mess, I would use matting to start building the bonnet lip structure.
I made sure that matting covered both the existing and extension sections.
I will then add fibreglass filler to both sides of this for the final shaping.
I also 'beefed up' the underside of the bonnet, juts below the line of filler.
Next I made a complete dog's dinner of adding fibreglass matting around the stop/tail light holes.
And a marginally neater job covering a few gaps on the repaired rear wheel arch.
Thankfully, I was able to sand the filler into a more discreet shape.
( Just needs a quick skim of normal filler to finish tidying it up. )
But this provides a flatter surface for the light to be mounted to.
Last job of the day was sanding down the finishing putty.
So the good news is that I'm definitely getting there, albeit slowly.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
PS
I double checked the boot lid today and there is no sign of any adverse reaction.
So I just need to wait for the panel wipe to arrive, so I can test that with the top coat.
