Part 2

Plus the bonnet nose.



I did spot a small 'ripple' in this area, a legacy of the 'nose job', but that is staying as is.

I also worked my way around the edge of the grille opening.



I've been used tack clothes before applying the etch primer and they really do pick up a lot.



Unfortunately, by the time I was ready to apply the etch primer it was very hot outside.

So the paint was drying almost as soon as it hit the (hot) bonnet, which made it a messy application.



The only advantage of the heat was that by the time I'd finished using the etch primer, I could start with the knife putty.









Note: I've left the area around the front indicator alone until I do the remedial filler work on the opening.



Last job of the day was to start sanding down the front wing on the passenger side.



Obviously I still need to remove the lights on this side, but I am slowly getting more of the body work done.

I'm back in the office tomorrow morning for the meeting that was cancelled the other day.

So until I get another chance to work on the car, take care, Paul.
