Well spent yesterday doing more filling and sanding - I really do hate it! I'm really crap at it to, especially when it comes to applying it. This is where I am so far and it still isn't right! I'm gonna do a couple more skims and put it in primer then leave it to the sprayer to tweek it if needed...

Inbetween waiting for the filler to set I went about a little side project which was designed to help with my welding skills etc - a stand for my laptop and CDJs. So 1st I made a stand for the laptop...

And then added side arms for the CDJs...

It then bolts through the desk and is on threaded bar for adjustable height...

And all comes together like so...

Now I know the position and everything is ok I'll wip round with the welder as most of it is only tacked then I'll get it powder coated with the next lot of car bits.
Not sure if I'll get anytime on the nova today as I'm over mum's looking after her while she's unwell but may try n do a couple of hours tonight.
Stands cool, firewall looks good. Tip put filler on in long sweaps, using the larger side of the speader. Dont dot and dap.

The problem is now is that I've just got a couple of low spots I need to build up so how much of a spread do I need to do around them?
Plastics easy as they bend which can make it easier.
Spend it over everything, then try to skim off the arears that where ok after.
Dont try and just fill the low spot, do it all.
nice work simps, stands are cool
as for filler, your doing better than me lol im still struggling to get the mixture right lol

Big long block. That way you rub everything down at once, (if that makes sence)Quote:
