Today I learned, that fiber glass work isn't as easy as I thought.
Especially if you are not fully prepared.
Like it helps if you actually use measurement tools, a good brush, etc.
I should learn to be more patient, but at least I know now what I will need to do next time :D

Fibre Glass work
Today I was up in the unit again.
It was a nice, warm and quiet day in the unit as I was up during the day.
Besides being busy building up my new own business, I thought I "treat" myself with a bit of me-time and do more work on my S14.
Well, it wasn't really much work.
Besides giving the good oul daily driver a good spring clean, I finally got my hands on a fibre glass repair kit and started to get familiar with it.
I managed to actually "close" two wholes on the bumper, but I did one mistake!
I used all of the hardener and left a good bit for later, to continue bumper work in about an hours time (was distracted doing something else inbetween).
Suprise Suprise,....the hardener was.....hard!
Seems like that staff hardens quiet quickly, so I had nothing left to continue working on the bumper :(
I drove back to Halfords (2nd time today) to get more necessary stuff and also got some filler).
I will be up tomorrow again to finally finish the front bumper, gonna be a long day tomorrow!
But I shall not come back from the unit tomorrow, until that bumper is done!
Maybe the other ones too!
Fingers crossed, shit is getting done!!

Tea anyone?
There is no news but thought I would share this snapshot I took the other day.
While in the shed again, we improvised and took the kettle, some cups, instant coffee, milk and sugar with us.
I also had tea of course!
That was a brilliant idea I must say, helped a lot through that coooold night!
