Sweaty Tuesday - Part 2:
As I have come up with a rather odd solution to the secure the "cut" sections along the outside edges of the grille.

This involved mixing up some bonding paste and covering the exposed edges.
( Note: I underestimated the amount of bonding paste required so I didn't complete the whole area. )



Unfortunately, as soon as I started applying the paste I started having second thoughts.

As I could feel the paste oozing in between the two layers of masking tape.



But I stuck with it and then removed the masking tape as it was starting to set hard enough.



While that was setting, I sanded down the filler on the bonnet opening.



I also sanded down the scuttle wind deflector.





Next I added some "normal" filler to the bottom lip of the bonnet opening.





I also gave a few sections of the scuttle a quick skim with the left over filler.



There was then a break from car work as I collected my Mondeo and enjoyed an air conditioned drive home.

I also racked up a load of domestic chores, where the sweat was pouring off me.

End of Part 2…
