While the primer dried in the enginebay I spend the rest of the day blasting and sanding the doors to bare metal, I like to start from scratch. Look how beautiful those original doors are, so nice a condition they are in, I really like that

Nice, looks like you have some good doors.
At least we know now who does most of the hard and dirty work

They are really a pair of good doors, it makes me happy to see metal that old in such a nice condition!  


Hahaha, yeah you are right, why not make it easy for my self    No I just wanted to learn him how things works and how to make things, it’s nice that he like to help with it and I at the same time can give somthing from me to him  He actually helped with spraying some of the primer in the enginebay too

You are so right! It will allways be remembered, that’s one of the reason I’m doing this together with him, to have great memories with eachother

A little progress again today  Got the holes for the locks in the doors welded up today because I want keyless entress. Also got the doors in that ugly primer too. I won't do anymore to the doors for now, the next will be to make every gap between the door, fenders and body to line up perfectly with a 0,5mm gap every where. So next project are the front fenders and strip them down to bare metal.. Yeeeah buddy!

0.5 mm? You probably mean 5 mm!

Haha lol!! Yes of course I did mean 5mm instead, my mistake  It would newer be possible to open af door if it was 0,5mm

Began on the front fenders today. Every hole for emblem, trim for wheel opening and marker lamp are closed to get the clean look I want.. I also got the doorhinges blasted and restored with new pins and bushings

A little progress today also, not much, but better than nothing  Spend some time on the hinges and grinded/sanded all the edges to make them smooth and take away all the fails from when they were produced, looks much better now and got primer on them too
