Loving your channel. You're honest enough to admit that you aren't an expert in all areas of car restoration, but your enthusiasm and determination is infectious. It's great to see someone trying to keep modern classics on the road. I really wished you'd managed to salvage the Astra SR recently, but realise there has to be a profit margin in these projects. Keep up the great work.

Me and my mate have done a lot of welding in the engine bay of my nova before we’ve even got to the back end of the car. I was going to use filler to make the engine bay nice and smooth once the welding has been done, but seeing that you’ve used fibreglass and it’s a good result I’m going to follow suit. All my wiring will be hidden as much as I can so I need everything very neat. Everyday is a school day so thanks 👍🏻

Yes if you skim it first with that you can then use filler on top it just helps as it’s non pourus 👊👊👊
