wat a day dint tink i got much done yesterday, all repairs now on offside just need a final skim and got half the boot floor down to bare metal. should get the inside finished next weekend and maybe the underneath bare metaled then crack on with the other side which leaves me a couple of bits to weld up, take doors of and finish the engine bay before i go for color,

i do hate this stage tho seeing your pride and joy in this stage, espes when there no light at the end of the tunnel!!
