It's been a while since I've posted, but now there is a couple of new chapters :)

Got the filler job done. It took us 4-5 weeks to do the whole car, but then it's also very close to perfect :gimme:

The whole car has been sanded with 4-500 sanding paper, and it's now ready for primer

It was degreased again, and then sprayed with sander. Because its going to be BRG, we put some black paint in the white sander to make stonechips less visible.
