After applying the filler to the entire body, I noticed that the shades of the facade and the side and top walls were very dissonant and I didn't like it.
   

I had to choose tinting stains and tinting varnishes for a long time until I managed to achieve harmony ...
Below is a link to four videos of the entire restoration process (if someone has the patience to watch everything), and for all normal people who value their time, I'm giving a photo of the body after all the work is completed. Icon_e_biggrin
