Progress as promised, More bodywork

I finally got some time (about 7 hours over 2 days) to get on with the bodywork.  Even with my humble settings and hand tools, I feel like the B is getting much closer.

I got jiggy with the palm sander and wire wheel on the drill.  Here's the drivers side sanded down. (far side for you RHD purists)
The acrylic repaint was completely gone on spots down to original primer, but the bottom of the door and fender wouldn't sand off!

Guess this car part.....
It's a view from above the rear fender at the taillights.  You can see how the respray cracked and flaked then got chalky .

This is the cowling between the trunk boot and the cab.  When purchased it still had what was left of the top in the upright position with a tarp over the whole thing. It also had a blue cover on it that helped hold in rainwater. Thus- pitting.  Sanded it down and hit it with rust converter.



I have to give credit to my helpers..a rigid hammer drill with a 3M grinder that powers through paint and bondo, a Hitachi drill with a wire wheel for corners, and what's left of a black and Decker 1/4 sheet palm sander.

This is the rear trunk boot valace.  it was muy dented, warped, and wrinkled- but with a hammer and dollie set it's pretty flat now.  The bondo on the lower right is part of a boo boo to the right taillight area.  Minor bondo needed after hammering.

And the worst panel on the car. It seems that somebody backed into the tail light area a little.
It was under the side marker light And towards the taillight about a 1/4" 6mm deep. And whoever knocked out the bodywork use a framing hammer and about 5 pounds of bondo.
Again after hours of grinding off the bondo , hammering and guide coating and more hammering, and more guide coating, and hammering, and ... it's acceptable looking and even looks good at 10 feet.  It will just need a skim coat of filler to make it flat vs 1/4" of bondo.

Getting closer to full primer...
