2nd day in a row!

Day 2,
Today was a slow achy start, seemed to have spent a lot of time yesterday kneeling and squating. Well so my legs tell me today, feel the burn !
Having ground back the front wing last night and re fixing the wheel arch .... which worked a treat, it was straight on with a bit (loads) of filler. I just sucked it in and skimed the whole wing and re blended the wheel arch. Did manage to fill a few spots around the side window and door opening. But that was a bout it ... well you can't rush this, I suppose. Just about there with the wing and quite close with the arch.
Hoping to prime side window opening and door opening first thing tomorrow, start the day with a straight forward thing/feel good with quick progress.
Did realise today the tank on the compressor I have here is ... pants. I tried the belt air sander today which only needs 7 cmf but that seems to be still way more than the comp wants to cope with :( Now working out the easiest compressor to blag, I am so not hand sanding the bonnet rain channels. On the pluss side the extraction for the garage aka big fan on a stand blowing out of the side door, worked a treat and having the air line with a blower was nice to blow out the pits in the filler.

Picture time.
Before and after of the wing, also a bidrs eye view .... poop which shows I have a slight bow in the wing fold, nice more sanding.
