Hey TC I've tried to cool down my serial uploading but can't hold back. Started with Karooha cutting the rear out last week I asked for a kinda technique plus tools to use show and tell, Thanks man.
But this week my re re shell's been to hell and is still there. Tried doing some filling with car filler which softened the roof so its full of dents, doh. Then used some modelers body repair gunk which dried like rubber and pealed of like skin. So I gave up with the filling, sanded all the crud off and did some cutting with my limited tools,marked with pencil and cut the arches by eye using wire snips a stanly knife hack saw, stanly blade and sand paper, removed all the body trim doors sills etc, removed the hinges, still needs a bit of trimming a lot of filling and a final sand, but shes getting there, also reworked the double rear suss to fit all round without torsion springs, bit of a miss match but they look and work ok. Not best pleased with it but hey I blame my tools. ha Comments welcome, someone please tell me what filler to use.

I'm not letting you out until you apologize

Looks like she's coming around. The best body filler that I have used to date is squadron filler. You can find it on fee-bay. Thats were I got mine. Good luck on the project.

Starting to go some where
We all have these moments with filling and sanding things don't always go as they should be going
At least you guy's a brought, still have Organic Honeynow just hope the scorcher likes it
Keep it up and it will be a great bugster I am sure
Cheers,Alex
