It was one of them days where I thought I would do a little body work on Glenda. Wish i hadn't started!

Here is a before


During


And then this poped out!! Shit loads of filler


I think she had a knock a long time ago as there is Orange, blue then red paint over it (underneath was an off white which I assume was her original colour?

Then this hole/large dent must of ben one hard hit


And as funds are low i might leave this as a battle scar, but will paint over it!


So anyone breaking a late bay let me know. i need a few bits & bobs Laughing

Baywindow is sat in his lovely dry garage, waiting for me to throw about 4k at him Razz

In the mean time, my new T25 is nearly running, and the beetle's still too low to drive Razz

Right i couldn't leave Glenda in this way so i sorted out the "ouch " bit bascially i had to re-fil the panel, but not where the vent is. I want to leave this way to show her age (and it's a twat of a panel to fit Laughing )



The only thing is because I could not get an exact colour match, I had to repaint the whole panel. For those who want to know it was painted with Plasticote Red from Halfords. It will do the job for the time being....and looks great concidering I wasn't going to paint the whole panel.



You can see the difference in the Red


Will tackle the rear valance next (maybe even paint the whole back?
