            Put a space between the pic and text using the phones editor.

              so as you can see I had to cut the rot out to stop it spreading, it does require a bit of filler to get the shape right in the panel but on the whole not a bad first attempt.

              I also prepped the bumper but sanding then 2 coats of plastic primer followed by 2 coats of 2k etch primer

                        a bit of fettling to get it neat, rubbed with some wet and dry to get it nice and smooth, time for some red oxide primer!
