Nova winter resto

[Ojc]

The only thing on the Nova that lets it down is the engine bay, so over these winter months while its off the road I'm going to give it a shot of making it clean & shiny.
Along with the bay I will be doing underneath and doing the inner arches white rather than the current black.




This lot needs a good clean and a few bits of paint.

I'm gonna do small bits at a time no rush but want to keep a running thread as it progresses.
Any suggestions as to how I can make the engine bay smooth rather than textured prior to spraying? Obviously I can rub it down but is there a alternative?

not thought about smoothing the bay, that would look **** hot

looks nice mate, i'd use fiberglass and small amounts of filler (large amounts of filler could crack so only use a little bit)

What about filler primer? Someone has suggested that and I think I might go down that road.
