Sun and Sand

Beautiful weather this weekend, wheeled the car out of the garage to work on it. It was hot enough that the wheels of the rotisserie sank into the tarmac and I burnt the back of my neck, but it was nice to be out of the garage. Started off on the passenger side and finished off the rounded join of the wing and the boot. I’d ground out the lead at the top of the wing as well, so filled and sanded that too.

The other side needed a lot more shaping under the light, and the lip at the bottom of the wing needed building up. I built up a few layers of filler, and roughly shaped it with a metal file. The filler set really quickly in the warm, so by the time the sun started to set I was happy with both wings apart from two or three pinholes here and there. I wanted to have a go with the gun I bought the other day, but it was too late, so I fired some thinners onto the garage wall as a test. Will have a go for real soon.
