  5. No rust just looks like someone has been playing squash up it but good ones are like £500+ so it's being repaired

  9. Spend an hour with hammer and dolly got it pretty smooth but most of it was round wher the suppers are so got it best I could and plastered the filler on and will spend a few hours with a long wooden block and some stuck on sand paper the weekend and get it pretty flat I think !! The good doors rhd r £600+ so forget that I'll keep eyes open for future but this is pretty solid now only the corner I repaired which is the best part of the door it's not that bad most of this will Sand away but needs must !! Better than trying to just do the areas that need it and blending it all in would take forever man not as bad as I 1st fort [​IMG][​IMG]
    Should get out riggers on this weekend and close to finishing all the body work this side !! Then for a little something different on the front (all will be revealed next few weeks )
