looks like its coming along really nicely, a few things to remember, if you rub through to the metal, use wax and grease remover and then primer, if it is a big spot like more than 5cm you will have to use etch primer (i think its called that) take out your front lights, easy to do, a few screws.
i currently have 2 really deep cuts on the first 2 fingers on my left hand from using a knife to get the plastic off from the doors, it was working till i pushed too hard trying to get it done quicker, snapped the knife and the knife went into my fingers. take your time. get a hot air gun and heat up the plastic but not to the point it distorts or melts, unless you are gettign new plastic, then run a razor behind it, it will come off a lot easier use a scraper with replaceable blades to scrape off the glue, its really easy that way. you will be getting water in your boot with the lights out so remember that.
what grade of paper are you sanding it back with, i would go with 320 first and then 800 to smooth it out before the paint goes on.
Might want to look into a new bonnet, last weekend pick-a-part has bonnets and boots for 25 dollars each, they shouldn't be more than 40 now tho. make sure you get one in the same colour if you are going to do that.

hey man thanks for the comment yeah we found that using a hair dryer and a scraper ..or blunt knife thing pealed off the plastic so much quicker and found a scraper which just peals the rubber off so quick i was amazed we are sanding it back using 320 grit its doin the trick why do u think i should get a new bonnet ? im tryin to save as much money as possible meaning fixing as much as possible the door needed replacing because we sanded back the bog in it and found out that rust was all the way through we could just bog it back together but yeah its comin along well i wouldnt mind an aero kit but i would have to save up some doe for that at the moment its just hdt so yeah ill keep you updated with wats doin ..might get some more done tommoro night see wat happens

thanks dan
