It's gonna look good. Nice careful job there.

I'm a bit concerned though. How deep are the rust spots on that stressed,
pressed metal frame? - Can't tell from the photos.

Bondo has'nt got a lot of tensile strength y'know.

I'd describe the rust spots as lightly dimpled. Not deep enough for any concern thank goodness. I probably won't even bother with filler....

Update: Frame is now primed.
