That looks to have gone pretty well.
Once all the fillers sanded smooth, should be cool :)

[just vaux trev]

not as hard as i thought it would be just have to have lots o patience and be carefull with grinder...

[Adam]

Not Good

[just vaux trev]

didnt hurt at the time but does now and that was just a really light tap on the cutting disc (note to self put guard back on grinder), should have it sanded tomorrow and maybe primed/sealed
