The boot lid
During sanding
Due to the limited good clubman bonnets that I have, the original bonnet is still in better shape than the one I had thought about using on the very front lip. The original bonnet did however get dented from the top where the latch is, but I have been duly informed that it can be sorted even though the support brace is right under neath the problem area.
So the sanding started again.....
The big problem area
Why my car was never seen as being good enough to display or win something, and the end result of cheap resprays......
When you sand the offending area, RUST at the base that flakes to the top and sucks....
The start of the body filler and why it cracked....
Now you would think why are this oke crazy enough to take this car down to bare metal.... till you see the layers of paint and primer and filler with some background light.... puts things in perspective.
On some areas the paint layers must be about 1.5 to 2mm thick, paint is supposed to be a few hundred microns thick.
After about 3 weeks of a few hours a day of sanding the end is coming near, due to time constraints and work commitments, the car will most likely not be ready for Cars in The Park, but if it is, lets see what kind of response it will be getting now.

Own some minis, break them, fix them, improve them, test them to the limit....
