It's been a fairly pleasant day today so instead of watching the wedding I thought I'd make a start on repairing the bodywork.
As you can see there was a rather large hole on the right hand side panel. So I sanded the affected area outside & inside so that the fibreglass would stick.


Cut a piece of mesh out & wet laid the matting over it.


Then once that was cured I sanded the outside down again & put some stopper to fill in any pin holes.

Rubbed that down & flatted the rest of the panel.

Applied some primer (it's only aerosol but it'll show up any defects will coat in proper 2k high build stufff later).

Flatted that down. Hole what hole?

On another note I measured the mounting points on both engines today as well there's no difference (I didn't think there would be) so I literally just need the right exhaust then I can fit the 250 engine.
