I just went through all nine pages and at first thought you were just trying to make it useable. Some of those pieces were so crumpled that I figured you'd be cutting out chunks and welding in donor parts, but as the process went on I realized you're going for body work perfection! This is inspiring!

What a pain to put that hatch on by yourself
After

Perfecting the hatch

Blew up the puter, now back on win7 on old puter.

Install win 98 to format, add winXP, than win7 32 bit, woops, the editor dont run on 32 redo and put in win 7 64 bit. Hours to do this. I made it back. and guess what. The Samba worked fine on IE 8 Nothing else would work, who new. Now im on Firefox till that expires
