No i'm not taking over from StellaZ with pictures of my ass....

 

With the car having a respray i thought i'd take the oportunity to do some cosmestics that have been bugging me....

 

Namely the cracks around the Lights, they were blended in but not long after i go it back from spraying cracks started to show.... a case of bad blending i think, and has annoyed and bugged me since....

 

so today armed with my dremal and filler and sand paper i set to work.....

 

Here what they looked like this morning....

 

 

I did take some of them grounded out but dunno what happened to them :confused:

 

So heres some part filled and sanded....

 

 

 

 

And here where i'm up to.... a few little pin holes to sortout but nearly there...

 

 

 

 

 

Will finish it tommorrow....on my own this weekend so 3 ays of pure Zed work... if i dont run out of things to do........

would it be an idea to also reinforce the join from the inside?

TBH it was just a surface crack, i ground down until i couldnt see the crack any more, and it was/is about 10mm deep so i dont think it'll come back..... but it'll be a few months before the paint goes on so should give it enought time to settle and come back if it's going to.....

looks very good neil good work there mate :)

I agree, good work there mate.

Nice one Neil - that must of been bloody annoying!! Least its done propa this time :D :bow:

Thats the thing with filling, it takes ages to settle and will always show up after its been painted unless the filler is left for ages. Annoying as my front bumper is now beginning to show the signs of where the number plate holder bit used to be :(

Number plate will be a sticker one. And will be fitted just above where the holder used to be.

Just to clean the front of the car up, the number plate spoils a great looking bumper. I will put the number plate on the lower lip.

Fair enough :D Was just wondering :)

I plan to sikaflex an ali plate behind the number plate holder then some fiber glass filler to build it up then some body filler.

It's gonna be a while before i can afford a respray so hopefully it woul dhave settled and cracked so i can repair it again before the respray...
