Have spent the majority of today sanding, bogging scratches, sanding, bogging where i sanded to hard on the original bog filling the scratches and then a touch more of the sanding. I certainly know my local Bunnings' range of Wet and Dry sand paper, that is for sure. It was a sweltering 44 degrees in Perth today too, so it was a real workout. Have prepared the body as best as possible, have resolved a small rust patch to the rear of the fuel flap. Wasn't rusted through any neighbouring areas which was a real bonus. For a 45 year old car, I am really happy with how well its managed to stay together!
Prepped and ready to go for the morning, temperature permuting, it will be an early morning with a lot of primer. Will have to re-prime a panel I enthusiastically was preparing for top coat too. Still learning.

| I thought after putting all this paper on. I could have simply used a sheet. In the book for next time. |
With a layer of primer on it will be much easier to see any imperfections in the bodywork, though fingers crossed the first job was a good one. Keen to get it moving along now though, has really moved a lot faster with some spare time.
Tomorrow. Painting.
