Managed to get in a full day doing all the time consuming parts of finishing off the repair job today:
First up I sanded Down all the visible parts in the door shut and filled the weld to get the finish as smooth as possible, little
bit of distortion where it's been welded but that can't be helped.
Applied a bead of seam sealer to all the lines of weld just for extra future proofing

Matt came over for a bit and gave me a hand masking off the side of the car and the first decent layer of primer on

My new favourite toy, nutserts!
Figured for future side skirt removal these are ideal, got a load of m5 stainless cap heads and washers so should look good when fitted too.

Need to find some panel wipe from somewhere tomorrow morning and then put a coat of nile blue on then get the skirts back on both sides with the new and improved quick release setup
