Are you welding the back doors closed or is the gap just not visible in the pictures?

Yup, that does indeed look like a right pain in the arse. But fair play to you it's looking like a great project.

haha cheers yeah I'm enjoying it really and its going to look great I hope, I'll never do another though thats for sure!, cutting into the door fram and skins the slot the arches in behind the steel was a nightmare, as was blending the part arch into the doors!.. its worse thyan it looks to as i had to fabricate all new arch liners in front of the tanks, all round the tops of the inner arches and at the front sections where door shuts are now, these are done twice, one inner arch section plus another to form the shut.. so essentially now box sections.. and lotts of wiggly lines and shapes to cut and fillet in.. it does look right though and anything less would have broken the whole project.. :-)

That looks fantastic. Serious amount of skill required there. It will be superb once complete.

New user or same user, new name and 7 year bump? You can’t casually drop that in unannounced, man!

It’s a different person. The OP is using a saloon and the green car is a coupe
