no mucking around.

that's ok mate a lot less than what's in mine they where hidden under the dirt and some where really small and only noticeable at certain angles just wanted it perfect as im getting my jeep back to mint condition
the ones on the front was from us, didn't strap it down enough and it was bouncing and rubbing on the screws on the canopy.

all good mate. all the dints are popped out, and have sanded the bonnet ready for undercoat on Wednesday.

fixed up my rear pinion on the weekend, it feels good to not have a leaking rear diff!!!

tried re fitting my oil sandwich plate for oil temperature, however only tested it with a cold engine, once the oil warms it leaks

MM the bonnet looks nice, i was speaking to my panel beater friend on the weekend and he mentioned that some shops have a filler specifically for hail damaged cars, something along the lines of speedy filler ( i think, but will chase up), it can be applied with a plastic paint scraper and not need sanding back. might be helpful if your doing the work yourself.

edit: its called self leveling filler, but apparently it has a high rate of cracking after a few years, perhaps don't bother with this one.
