KugaWestie Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 I spent a few hours today filling and sanding then repeating the process on the passenger door, the door aperture and the surrounding areas. No photos of that though. Took me a good few hours but I am almost there. I offered the door back into the aperture as I knew there was a mismatch on levels where it joins the scuttle at the front. Once I had reviewed this, I built the scuttle up a bit. This will need taking down to the level of the door when I refit it. I have also gone across the nose of the car sanding ready for some filler/prep work. My plan is to get the door fitting nicely in the aperture, sort the front of the car out and then prime all down the passenger side and into the centre of the car in one go, so half of the body will then be primed. Once this is done I will turn the car around on the drive and repeat the whole process down the drivers side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Yeah we’re not getting as many complaints about the Westfield build manual now that your good self and @corsechris are being “proper” rufty-tufty car builders 😁 Keep persevering mate 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaWestie Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Busy day today, I had to do some employer work! I did spend the afternoon on the car though. I got prepped and then managed to apply a couple of coats of etch primer down the passenger side of the car I also coated the door whilst at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Mace Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Gary, it looks absolutely fantastic with the primer on. I can really start to imagine what it will look like with some paint on it. Do you have any thoughts on final colour yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
