Visible Progress...
After a weather wash out yesterday, I made an early start today.
Thankfully mixing and applying filler doesn't disturb the peace.
I put some tape around the threads of the Spitfire door hinge bolts & screwed them in.
This allowed me to apply filler without clogging up the mounting plate threads.
Eventually all the required areas on the outside of the bulkhead were covered in filler.
I even managed to make a start on the inside of the bulkhead, but there is still more to do there.
However, given the weather forecast, I wanted to get some primer on the outside surfaces ASAP.
So after creating yet another mini snow storm of filler dust the outside edges were roughly sanded and cleaned up.
Again, the bolts went back into the mounting plate with some tape wrapped around them.
After a coat of etch primer, this is what the passenger side looks like now.
It was always going to be a bit bumpy in places, but as I am brushing the paint on over the top it isn't really a problem.
But there is certainly something about seeing it all in one colour that gives you a real boost.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
