Not bad for a DIY if I do say so myself.

More of the same for me. Just ordered more parts that I cannot afford.

I'd like to know more about how you did yours.
Took off the moldings, popped out the clips, welded on small metal pieces I fed from inside the door panels, a little filler to smooth things over, prime and paint.
I wasn't going for absolutely perfect as I have more things planned but for a little bit of time and not much invested, it does the job.

Looks good Z. Any bondo after welding?
I may be doing a little sanding and priming soon so I can safe on an Auoflex coatings job.

That's what I meant by filler Rich. The part that sucks though is in certain angles, you can barely see where the clips used to go. Maybe I sanded too far when I was smoothing out the primer and maybe the paint I laid down is just real thin. Either way, it's temporary until I can find some time to continue what I started a couple weeks ago.

A lot of times, the filler material will shrink a little bit and cause that. If you look at mine at certain angles you can see that too.

Mine was done with a slightly different method, which I kind of question the integrity of it because the guy didn't seem to want to do the work to weld anything.

Oh, I didn't see that you mentioned filler.

that is some clean body work.
Bought some more shit for the turbo build.. Turns out the diaphragm was ripped on the waste gate... So I guess I was lucky to catch it before it goes on and waste money on tuning.
