All panels are now sanded (80 grit), test fit here, hence a bit of a dodgy gap along the fender to door gap. Next job, sand up through a couple of grits ready for primer.
Oh yes, 'while i was there' with the door, i thought it would be good to straighten out the rocker panels
They were ok, but a bit wavey when looking at it with a long straight bar bit of angle bar. Only the MOT guy will ever see it, but i just know, deep down inside, for a split second he'll notice and be thinking... hmm, that panel looks pretty straight. And then i'll feel a strange sense of slight satisfaction. Of course, the only reason i have had to do work to the rocker panels, was because someone thought the best way to jack up the car was by sticking a jack on the rocker panel (probably a jobs worth on his first day at work operating a hydraulic lift?)... on both sides of the car

I've got a week off work soon to work on the car. That way i should be able to have it primed and flatted, ready for paint. Then once the colour is on, get someone out to install the front and rear glass, while i wait for that, do the door internals, glass, locks, handles, inner panels etc, wet sand the clear and book an MOT. Always make it sound easy lol.
hope you improve soon..
