Here is the condition of the nose as i purchased it:

Started this weekend repairing the pushed in nose panel.  After removing the front bumper and grills, I banged the nose out with a hammer from the backside, got it as good as i could.  grinded out paint from the infected areas, primed the bare metal with 2k epoxy primer then started body filler.   blocked out all out with a longboard to my satisfation then recoated again with epoxy primer then a more sandable nomal 2k primer.  happy with the results!
