Ok had a peaceful day with the kids away and managed to get a lot done. This the image after the body filler slathered on :
I spent many hours then first rough sanding it with the dremel sanding bit and finally wet sanding with a fine grain sandpaper for a very smooth finish.
After this i filled in the imperfections with some more filler, this time used my finger to shape it. I wil then do the final wet sanding tomorrow if time permits and then its ready for paint, phew!
cheers.
