I spent a few days at my cousins bodyshop. It was awesome fun and a learning experience, I even got to play with a rs500 he's got in at the moment.
Any way on to the ST170, first job was to clean a line where the crease is so you can tack little keys and pull the dent using a super impressive tool. I was initially quite sceptical of this but it turns out to be blinding.
I was quite made up with how that corner came out to be honest. even though it took me nearly all day (saying that I've never done this sort of body work before)
Then onto the other side
If you take a look at the earlier pics of this side you can see the arch was nearly flat. It took some work to pull it back out inch by inch working round the arch. very surprised to be able to get the shape back.
Then onto the dent below the side window
A quick skim using his finest finishing filler
and fun sanding it all back
Then 3 coats of high build primer
I missed one dent at the bottom of the door that Ill go back to before it eventually gets a full coat of primer. also the front drivers side wing I will just replace, rather than pulling and filling them.
After all this back to the workshop for a play with the back end
