Started the week by flatting the filler on the front quarter panel and priming it.  I then moved onto marking up some plywood for the front mudwing template, using the mock-up created last week.  This required several pieces and took a while to cut and assemble and was not finished unti the end of the week.  In what was probably an ill-considered move, I decided yet again to attempt to realign the beading at the emergency door and rear corner, to give a straight run from front to back.  This proved awkward and damaged the filler around the top of the rear quarter panel, which I repaired.  The beading does look smuch better now.   I  continued with odd small jobs while I waited for the mudwing template to  set; these included finishing painting the sliding pane of the cab window, rubbing down the offside rear window frame in preparation for painting and attending to the filler on the rear dome and elsewhere around that area.  A quick check of the wiring situation under the cab reveals that this is complete and the cover can now be fitted over the junction.
