Body Skin 3.5 Body work, all over

The other day I started cutting out the slot's in the side vent.
You can just see them on the right of the picture.
Next I marked up and cut out some more perforated metal sheet,
that will be used behind these side vents as these are very weak by themselves.

SHOULDER HOLES

I applied watered down PVA glue to the cut hole edges, then used some more P40 resin in the gap around the shoulder disc (shoulder disc has been removed in these pictures). Then later I started to add wood filer.
Used the left over resin by applying it to the back of the vent 'pocket' back.

Whilst all that was drying off, I cut out the second hole for the shoulder disc.
No mistakes this time!!
I cut well inside the line, then repeatedly offered up the disc, locating it on the bolts, till it fitted and the clearance around it looked right.
Other work done:
I sanded the wood filler on the recessed panels again.
Primed and blue sprayed up the second pocket vent backing plate (this one will go on the rear of the body). 

R5D4'S BAD MOTIVATOR

Bought a new silver spray can so sprayd up the second rear Coin Return & the components that make up the Motivator.

PANEL WORK

Lastly, I had time to recess the panel next to where the Coin Slots go.
 
The left picture shows the panel scored ready to be carved out. the right pictue shows job done, and with watered down PVA glue applied, to seal. This also helps to stop the wood soaking up the spray paint :)
Yellow shows work done
