By hand, or DA sander? Lots of time rubbing?

Thanks for any info!

Andy


They were never painted, I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

After a long struggle I got the windshield vents out. They're now painted and ready to go back in.

Installed. That was like a turning point, now there's pretty much reassembly left. Let the fun begin!

Well, those anti eyebrow plates are interfering with the headlight housings, so the bumper has to come off again...

And some unidentified wires again, help please?
