	Hi! One patch on the batterytray,closed some holes on the b-post..... Now:I'm still not happy with the doorgaps.... The new doorskinns seemed to be a little to short. So i weld some material on the edge. onerous work.... But after dressing it looks much better.But it's still room for improvement. Cheers

	Amazing job! I love to think that way in the future some Cortina anorak is going to look at the chassis number on this and be really confused. Brilliant.

	Hi! I hope in the end no anorak can see that it was a 4 door..... At least......i made it not right You have to remove the primer paste accurately with soaked piece of cloth.And there was my mistake.There is acid in the paste...... So,it has to get off again... After doing it right..... Tomorrow the other side.... Cheers

	all I can say is WOW....this is an awesome project. fantastic work...I guess you have to know when to let go, like you did with the donor car....tough decision, but I'm sure it was the right one... JP

	Yeah that donor car was perfectly alright in the first place, nice paint and all that Keep at it totti, I started my fabricating-welding training course on Monday and spent the last two days practicing TIG welding... not quite there yet but I keep thinking of the kind of madness I see on your thread and I want to do the same!!
