Jag - I have all the manual sanding blocks (no powered tools) and I am slowly getting there.
Deggsy - Thanks, although the photos make it looks a bit smoother than it actually is.

Living & Learning:
Managed to get a bit more done after work this evening, starting with sanding one half of the boot lid.
( The half that had the knife putty applied. )
I am also experimenting on how smooth I sand down this half.
Today's lesson was that you should not apply the high build primer until
after the putty work.
As I managed to sand down past the etch primer layer.
Which meant going back a stage to add some etch primer.
( You can see the colour difference much better in this photo. )
Which obviously ate into the high build primer.
I also sanded the driver's side headlight surround back to bare metal.
Before giving that a coat of etch primer too.
I then moved to the front drive.
Where I had already cleaned down the driver's side ready for some etch primer.
Then using today's lesson I went on a pin hole hunt around the areas I'd previously etch primed.
Obviously, the side of the bonnet I had chopped off, needed more knife putty than the other side.
I also tackled the passenger side of the cockpit.
Finally, I returned to the Summerhouse.
And those of you who are not feeling the love for my
possible tribute to the mighty D24, should look away now.
Then I had to leave everything to dry / set before packing it away / covering it up.
I'm busy tomorrow night, so it might be Wednesday before I can get some more done.
So until then, take care, Paul.
