I wasn't happy with the body lines above the doors, the previous panel beater had these sections and the rest of the van in guide coat (WTF) decided to start with fitting the window trim and over door drip rails and see how good or bad every thing lined up. I had to repair the removable drip rails first and when I fitted them the body lines looked much worse. Used the file paper tool and quickly found the panel repair was all over the place. Not knowing how well this previous beater carried out repairs I took it back to bare metal and removed any bog and start fresh. There was way to much bog build up and once removed I could see the correct body lines and only needs around 1/4 of the amount to filler to get it right. Once again if you want it right do it your bloody self.

After stripping these panels I found they have lead in both sides which I would presume is still factory not sure, you wouldn't think the previous beater would have lead wiped these panel sections?
Anyway sand blasted and repaired the drip rails and epoxy primed. Primed the body sections ready for filler next time.
