I did take some - I'll have a look and upload them tomorrow if I remember.
Scott:
Is there a 'before' pic of the door gaps? Looks pretty right now.
I too have been slack of late. It's a little too cold out in the shed at night, so I have been using that as an excuse :mmm:

I've just been loking through my pics and I wish I did take before pics of the gaps. They are pretty good at the front of the door but the rear of the doors were shocking. The doors were twisted and it took my brother and myself quite a while to twist them back as straight as we could get them.
This is the best pic I could find and it really hides how bad they were!
The below pic is the only one I could find that showed the rear end in full epoxy. A lot of work has been done since this pic though. I should be taking more pics of all this stuff. When I get out thee and start working pics are the last thing on my mind considering how hard it is to motivate myself to get out there in the first place!
The rear filler panel and the edge where it mount had pretty big gaps (I filmed a video clip of it and will try to upload it to youtube) ... You can see in this pic where I've fiberglassed a patch to the inside of the guard and then I've done the same to the filler panel to make up the gap.
This is the same PPG filler I used on the door gaps and the rear end. Its especially for fibreglass. After I rubbed it all back I spent ages sculpting the gap space and shape but I forgot to take pics after I finished! I'll try to remember next time I'm out there! I'm pretty happy with the end result except need a small bit of work on the right hand edge still where the fibreglass patches are.

Not sure if this embedded file will work, but it's a short clip of the shockingly bad filler panel gap prior to repair

I also put a couple other video clips on youtube as well. Will be taking more from now on.
