All BMW

Since Monday is a holiday and I never take enough vacation I decided to take today off (it's Friday) and work on the E9.

On my way I stopped in at Redline for a fresh can of Technifill. Later when I used it I noticed right away how much smoother it went on. Old, lumpy filler just isn't worth it.

I found more rusty spots on the bottom edge of the RH nose, so after a round of sanding the LH side I dug around with a wire brush in the die grinder, then treated the exposed holes with POR-15 clean and prep while a fresh batch of Technifill set on the other side.

After lunch I finally started working on a jig for the roundel mount. Now I just need a block of fine grained wood.

After another round of sanding and filling I finished by patching all the little holes with POR Patch and fiberglass. That will be set up by tomorrow morning.
