This was the shaft that controls the airflow through the spray gun - it's now fixed but at the time I was in a bind as the paint was going to dry and I'd have nothing to show for it. A foam roller was to hand which is a lesser evil than wasting paint.

As I've mentioned this was like super orange peel!

I think I'm getting there with the rear panel - I managed to reduce the depth by giving it some light panel beating which after a skim I think it'll be ok

I'm going to have a go at sorting the massive dent on the rear passengers door it runs practically the full width and before now I have thought of it as being a new door skin but I think if I try and it looks terrible then it'll be a new panel.

I had a few photos of flatting the boot filler down I've just applied the knifing putty which should be set and ready for flatting when I get back of holiday next Sunday.

whilst waiting for filler to set etc I have been working my way forward to sand the panels down, I've noticed a dent on the sill and the height difference between the front of the sill and the front wing - I don't want to cut and re weld the wing as the curvature is good with the door.

What can I do?

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
