Body Shell Prep - Part 1:
Ended up adding a little bit of fibreglass filler around the welding I did yesterday.
So once that was set and sanded down I could put some etch primer on.
I painted the top brackets.
Used the bottom brackets to mark out where to drill holes for the fixing bolts.
Then spend ages tidying up both the underside and sunny side of the area around the boot opening.
So I could get some etch primer on.
Added a layer of normal body filler to the "wedge" behind the dash board lip.
Sanding this down was a major pain, as I had to work underneath it to see what I was doing.
But no matter where I was, the dust still rained, or should that be snowed, down on me.
At least I got a smooth finish eventually.
Then that got a coat of etch primer too.
Whilst the primer on the underside of the lower brackets hadn't cured long enough, I could paint the other side.
