WorldClassAccident is on a distinguished road

I rubbed it down and had it painted by a pro

The ripples in the bonnet happened after it was painted where I added extra glass under the bonnet to re-enforce it and the heat caused the distortion.

The screw head on the bonnet appeared before I re-enforced the bonnet and it was flexing a bit.

The door handles were put in by Chris but flexed a bit so he rewelded then and filled them. I then got those bits repainted but I guess either there was filler shrinkage or I didn't notice they weren't perfect before getting them resprayed.

So the first 2 appeared after painting because of the bonnet flexing and the last one was possibly because I rushed to paint.

Not a reflection on the quality of the paint job, but irritating none the less.
