My various projects thread.

The rear glass also fit semi lousy. The rubber must have been thicker than what I've used in the past. I have 5 different rear windshields at the shop and all measure the same dimensionally so wasn't the glass.

I've had Daves car in the shop to respray the rest of the body to match the front end repairs made last year since it didn't match properly.  Ended up finding a little extra to repair while it's here.

Always more to it than you hope, but worth it in the end!

Here's what you should do before finishing welds and painting the car....fit the door!  In Dave's case it was a perfect factory fit.  The A panel is heritage and seemed to match as you'd expect, but the flitch repair sections are knockoff.  There's always a little doubt as to how well they'll align things up so best to double check before the pain set's in after the job is done.

Daves car got it's face lift completed today.  Sure will look amazing once it's all put back together. Perfect for the spring!

Waiting for Dave and Don to arrive.  Have it waxed and staged in the shop.

Working on this last shell. Needs a whole lot of everything.  I was about to drag out the rotisserie, but found out I can roll it on it's side very easily to work.  Having genuine panels on this one has made what little bit I've done go pretty smoothly.  Still in the clamp, screw, and bolt phase before I do any welding.  I'll need to weld up the side test fitted before cutting out the other corner.

Brant will be so excited to see work getting started on his Mini!

Yeah and it dawned on me the other day he's going rod change, so we ordered a new tunnel and associated cross member.  The front foot and half / two feet needed cut out regardless.

I guess it's been since April since I touched this car. After some life events lol, I'll have a lot more time at the shop to get things done. Starting in September I'll be a full time resident at the shop.  I have a condo remodel that was put on hold during this same time period that I'll end up paying someone to finish the last of the tile so I can get that place rented.  I am looking forward to getting back to metal work and away from tile work!
