Description
i ground it all down with the grinder, and skimmed it with fibreglass filler. sanded down and then filler

not finished yet, but i was getting annoyed with looking at the same panel lol.
here's how it started when i got it free
 
Description
so last year (or the year before?) i fibreglassed the back with the crap from halfords
as long as it looks half decent i'm happy. although a few sharp jolts in the road, it'll probably all fall out

hi, dont get the davids stuff upol is definately better nice to see your work area is as tidy as mine lol
p40 is ok for bridging but p38 is like porrige compared to the fine upol
stuff
another thing use it as quickly as poss dont hang about as soon as it starts going off bin it
also ice cream tub lids are good to mix on
leave a film of filler on it when it goes off bend the lid and itll all come off
when mixing do it with a folding action as apposed to strirring youll get less air bubbles

ha ha work area?! thats the back of the car
i was using a ice cream tub lid. i found it laying out there and decided to use it.
its turining out alright. just a pain having to do it so many times because the filler keeps dragging on the spreader leaving big scores in it lol. it
was just because that stuff they had on telly looked so much easier to work with, i thought there must be a better way
