I smoothed my engine bay over too. Not a painter or Panel beater, but the body work came up great. Not hard to learn. I also didn't bother too much with the seam welding. Not for a road car. I suggest strengthening the top A arms however.

Haha. Yeah, I had a short deadline and was very optimistic about it too. With Lots of rust replaced and thicker metal etc etc. Turned into a completely stripped car and total rebuild. Its now 1.5 years going strong!

Good luck mate!
