Roof repairs - Part 1

Hello readers and apologies for the gap in posts, caused by a long holiday and the acquisition of another Jaguar XJS. I bought it on a whim with a view to getting it on the road and selling it on, but it is giving me all sorts of electrical problems. And who says it is just TR7s that suffer from this?

But as this is a TR7 blog, here's what I have been up to.

When I pulled the car out of storage some time ago, some kind soul had been crawling around on the roof, leaving two or three dents. So today I sanded down the area and applied some filler. It is going to take quite a bit of fettling to get it right, but P60 grit on the DA sander, followed by 120 and 180 is bringing it into line nicely.

Some areas blended, some not.

I have had to apply a few skims, and these photos show a new layer atop a recently sanded area. They'll look fine when blended properly.
