Gave the front end a coat of zinc primer and couple layers of stone chip paint, made a start on the turbo support bracket also tried sorting the fuel leak on the fuel rail adapter couldn't stop it leaking turned out to be small crack in the fuel rail!

Your sanding blocks seem to be adding filler rather than removing it.
