The repairs to nose panel have started, but there was not enough time to complete, so that carries on tomorrow too!
With light fading, I only had enough time to throw on a coat of etch & a single coat of primer. I have since noticed some scratches in the filler that will be re-sanded. It is my aim to do away with need for spray putty, and just apply three coats of primer.
With any luck, and a tail-wind, I should have the whole thing repaired and primed tomorrow.
The engine cover will have foam strip applied to seal edges and protect against scratching anywhere when it's installed or removed, and a strip of rubber will go between it and cab floor. That's another 'tomorrow' job.
