G`day Yogie , thats one of my projects , both pillars have been finished off , chassis kit is in , etc and the car has been bicarb blasted and primed.
I dont have the skills to reskin the doors and I cant find anyone who will do them without wanting a ridiculous amount of money . I was going to sell it but the wife wont let me ! This project has been ongoing for 6 or 7 years now , there was only one other that I knew of when I started it , now there is a few of them so I have lost a bit of interest in it.
One day I will finish it , just a matter of getting the rest of the panel work done.........

thanks for that Trev, I liked the look of this from the start. Looks very "factory". And listen to the wife dont sell it, it dont cost you nothing just sitting there... :wink: How did you come up with the measurments and the amount of space you wanted to gain...anymore pics, I'd love to do this to a car. If you do have anymore pic, care to send them to yogie63@aapt.net.au Any way good stuff chap, I'd buy it off you no worries there at all. :D :D :D

I worked out how much to lengthen the doors by having a photo enlarged then chopping it up and moving it around until I thought it looked right - ended up with 200mm . I have some pics of it as it sits now somewhere , if I find them I will post them.
