December 19, 201510 yr Author 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.
December 19, 201510 yr Author repaired rear 1/4 panel 8months ago,now the small area fixed, rear quarter accident damage, filler work poorly done shape wise,ground filler out and redo,filler covers just about the whole 1/4 panel,not much else you can do with it.
