Thank Mwizz, pretty stoked to see the project reach this stage, hanging panels still need some work and epoxy.

The dents to the LH rocker panel are now pulled out, lead-wiped & filed.
The LH door original skin has been taken off but seems there is a fair bit of surface rust inside so i'll get this blasted possibly tomorrow before the new skin goes on...
I've also been putting together the new headlight buckets tonight to check for quality and fitment...I've used the NOS headlight surround on the RH side because the repo one was a shocking fit within the bucket.

got the new floor, inside of rear quarters, rockers, and ceiling in epoxy today, starting to look like a nice clean slate!

Front pillars have been re-wiped with lead.
New LH door skin is done and the few rust holes to bottom of the door have been patched...
The inner door shell will need to be media blasted again as the epoxy did not stick...good thing only one panel has been blasted by that mob...

Getting really close now, were the door skins welded on or did you use an epoxy glue?

Door skin was plug-welded and has bronze welds to corners...

If you can get the engine bay painted then you can at least do all of the front suspension and even get the engine and tranny in.

I've got the engine bay paint so that will definitely be my next step. I'll leave the exterior paint to a pro !
