It's Filler Time:
Started the day by applying fibreglass filler to the scuttle area inside of the wind break lip.





Then I switched to "normal" body filler to cover the low spots on the other side of the scuttle & make a start on the lip.





Note: I really must learn to put less filler on when I'm supposed to be just giving it a skim.

While I had the normal filler on the go I also covered the "sealed" door gaps.





When the filler had gone off sufficiently, I started to sand it into shape.

This took two sessions, was hard work and extremely messy.

When I was done, I had to carry the body shell onto the road.



This gave me the space to tidy up the mess.



Note:
I also had to move the body while I was sanding, as the wind was blowing the dust onto next door's drive.

So I had to hose their drive down too while I was as it.

Anyway, this is what the various areas look like now.
