I got out there today with a mission to get the bonnet welded up and primed on the inside, I also wanted to sand down the wing filler, and get it back into epoxy! When I first looked at this bonnet I thought it was all good until I gave it a blast with the wire brush and a load of pinholes began to appear along the inner skin. I treated this with the FE123 rust converter a couple of days back so should be all good now!

I decided that it would be too much to cut this out and weld in new plates, so I decide to blast it with the welder and blow it out until I hit good metal! It worked quite well tbh!

This one was a right pain in the backside! It just kept on blowing, I ended up blowing out most of the right hand side of the metal, but eventually got to good metal in the end!

Once I had done this, I got the seam seal out again! and finished off the bits that I had missed previously! I also got a skim of filler over the welds!

I then moved on to the wing and got that sanded back!

I hit the rest of the wing with some 150grit.
Whilst I had the filler out, I skimmed over the welds on the rear of the car, I have been meaning to do this for a long time!

I got them sanded back and gave it all a good clean with panel prep and then a tack rag!
I also put a skim over the side of the car again as there were some pinholes in the filler, and I wasn't entirely happy with the filler into the door where I have welded the replacement cill, It looks much better now!

I then mixed up some epoxy primer and gave all the panels a wipe and tack off! On with the paint!

I was messing about with the settings on the gun and managed to get it spraying nice but not using too much paint! I ended up with paint to spare so I got the plastics out and hit them with some 60grit, wipe and tack! Then paint!

Whilst rushing to get the plastics out of the garage to sand down, I tripped and dropped one of the rear plastics from above the rear light! of course it landed on the weakest part and snapped the end off it!

You *#%@!&*(+................................. Luckily, I have been hoarding various parts from various sources and now have a renault 5 full of renault 5 parts, including quite a few sets of plastics!

After 5 mins or so, I emerged with a replacement for the broken one. I gave it a clean, sanded it down and got some epoxy on it!
Only the bumpers left to clean, sand and epoxy now, then on to high build primer!

I think I'm going to hit the engine bay and inside of the car with some 180grit and then give the Tungsten paint a go!
Looking back through some older pictures, I noticed that the boot area has what looks like sound proofing on it. Does anyone know where I can get this from?
Thanks for reading guys!
