Great work! Think you need to get new door catches though. Some nice chrome, or even just original zinc coated ones rather than painted. Just my opinion though, as said everything you've done is mucho awsomeness......o  :undecided:

Looking minted now mate...done a real good job of it. Want to see some outside pics of it!! Hopefully get mine finished up soon!!

P.S. Did you have the engine and box out of this as I notice the box has all been painted. Also that rear beam looks very shiny, did you drop that too?
