    I messed up a little........
    Guess what dick head didnt cover his car before grinding so ended up with grinding dust all over his car that then turned to millions of rust spots all over.........yeah that dick head would be me lmao.

    So set about clay barring and machine polishing the car, luckily it all came off after a few hours of going at it. Lesson learnt, I'll be covering the car next time I do any grinding or welding.

    Got the drivers side inner wing and flitch panel done today, not as many pics of the process but it was same as passenger side I posted.

    Also my GM front panel turned up today so I did a quick test fit and make sure it all lines up and its bang on, well happy with it. Just shows its worth spending the extra money for the proper parts.
    I'll get that welded on next weekend then I can start smoothing all the engine bay ready for spraying.
    I'm going for smooth seams so using a little filler to do it

    Got the front panel welded on today.
    Also did the chassis leg mod
    I just have 2 plates to do on the bottom of the chassis leg where it meets the front panel then thats all the welding done.
    I can now starts tidying up the bay and smoothing it then spray.
    Just need to bend the clutch hole down
    I ground down the welds on the front panel and put some zinc primer on until I primer the whole thing.
    Group down the welds on the chassis leg mod then seam sealed across which will be smoothed out when dried

    I'll crack on next weekend

    I liked it up to the point you applied the seam sealer. Why not mask either edge and use a brush for a factory look?

    Use the black fibrofill pal its flexible so wont crack followed by a light skim of filler.
