I would have thought enclosed transport would have been a wise investment, especially considering the fact that there was a pile of loose parts inside. That would have kept it from being exposed in bare metal too. |

getting rear corner mocked up
took corner off and short side panel and joined then together as one piece before attaching permanently to the body
door gaps look pretty good on finished product

after the short side panel was on and the new lower c pillar was attached the door didnt close properly. the cargo door rocker had been installed too high and had to be removed. the previous shop probably never checked this prior to making the lower rockers a solid unit
a special guest stopped by to help work on the bd23 during bulli brigade weekend
this is hopefully the last piece of metal the the previous shop installed that we will have to remove _________________ Jason Stratton 407 497 9944

Wow. Sometimes I feel bad about my welding, but after seeing that-I'm really not that bad. Thanks for boosting my confidence level!

I just stumbled onto this thread, as I'm a type 3/34 guy. Just wanted to say wow. Nice to see a car getting the touch of a craftsman who does it right. _________________ '68 Lotus White T34 automatic sunroof
