First Try At Panel Beating

Ok so i'm getting a little ahead of myself now but i bought myself a new DA and a panel beating kit so i wanted to have a play with it. I new there was parts of the car that had a lot of filler on it but the amount in some places was a little worrying.

I know Karmann Ghia's are a coach built car and will always have a certain amount of filler but this wing was a little excessive. After doing some digging, in places the filler was around 6-7mm thick. Its not a great photo but you can see an area around the center of the wing that has been completely removed of all filler. This area had a dent in it about the size of a small football. With a hammer and dolly and around 20-30mins of beating, i managed to get it to a shape where all it will need now is a very slight skim fill. Well that's saved some weight off the front end!!

Plenty of highs and lows to sort out.
