    It's only a 1st hit so its watertight over the winter. Going to need a top coat of fine filler then I'll grind them in again. Didn't get time last night

    Well done Karl.

    However, we now have a dilemma, who do we now use as an example of a long term resto?
    @Parsdox perhaps?

  20. Chip that filler off dude
    Use thinners to remove the transit primer then key the whole panel up with 80grit before filling again.
