i think this build will be awesome as i have already said,
But i cant help but be a little disapointed in the accuracy of the WT section.
Those RHD parts are spot on! like Gersons parts are famous for, but that bulk head is'nt. Its cool but its not BD.

Here's another shot of the BD walk through option for reference. In this photo it looks like there are panels screwed in place which have cut outs for the ribs. It is hard to see in the scan but there appears to be a trim channel at the top and inboard side of the panel. The panel is screwed in place on the outside edge. For what it is worth, "1956" is marked on the back of the sheet in pencil.

I am quite into the RHD double door walk through thing and Gersons work looks top notch. However, these two pics show complete bodges, it is such a pity.

That can't be a finished shot.
Looks more like a work in progress.

Neither are finished or close to it. I am fitting everything and cut and/or welded what it takes to fit things. Now that everything in the drive train has been fitted things will be cleaned up/finished.
Remember this is a work in progress as stated above, not an easy project, it's the finished project that counts

also, you will need to turn the heat up on your welder.

It usually helps to actually clean the metal too before you pull the trigger... |
