Well done. All this brings back memories of when I worked at the Rootes Group Main Dealer in Leeds. One of the mechanics had acquired an old Sunbeam Talbot and later wanted to sell it on. However at least one of the wheel spats had rusted right through and made a hole as big as your fist, He took it up to the paintshop and, there with newspapere and filler rubbed smooth and a lovely coat of paint and it was made to look like new.
This reminds me of when i started working at a Jaguar main dealer as a painter and those spats but also on this particular Mk 2 3.8 with wire wheels everything else was rotten. After a lot of filler and repaint in pearlescent gold it looked a peach but didnt take long for all to come through again, shame as mechanically it was fine.
Sunbeam Talbot 90 - Rather Rusty. Step 5 - Windows.
