got a decent break in the weather today
so i smoothed the wing, masked of the door and bumper and gave it a nice smooth coat of primer  :D

first i removed the indicator and rub strip, it's a new panel but it's had a few wee knocks and it is un-painted.






also got a start on the rear arch

it's had a bit of a knock at some point and is a tad oot O shape i took a wire brush and a grinder to it and cleaned away all the rough paint to the bare metal, then i coated it all in "chemical metal" you paint it on to the bare metal and it treats any rust, it reacts with rust to create a solid surface  

 i was happy to see that there was/is no rot on the rear arch just out of shape!

since i took they pic's ive re-shaped the rear arch and it's now ready for a skim of filler

that'll do for noo    ive still to get filler for the rear arch and a few tins of Dolpin Grey and clear coat

these lockups are barely big enough to park a car in, no cat-swinging room at all

if i had Eds workshop i'd have a go at building a kit car
