sub1980s Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 sanding down the body from windscreen to back of car,reseal seam joins as removed old stuff from repairs,stone chip sills,rocker panels, as my filler lines wonky on bottom,stone chip disguises it,as did not want to go back and redo,sill edge was damaged and dented from 4wdriving or jacking the car on it in places,quite soft,block sand some funny bits,wonky lines and slightly under filled bits. redo bits wasn't happy with,and use green scotch pad on fiddley bits.
