Thank you guys appreciate it!
Here are a photo I took yesterday.
Soon time for a engine swap. 
Soon time to swap out the temporary doors.
Got the OG door from a friend.
Thanks again Demian.
It was in pretty bad condition.
Repaired a inner structure.
Then took the old skin and folded it back on the better structure.
Repaired the old skin by the upper hinge.
Still got the lower left to do.
And tried out the BD window frame.
Don’t got any early hinge frames. Only got the newer BD frames and windows.

Hahaha thanks j.pickens.
Have been searching for an OG front sofa.
Then it happened.
There was one for sale VERY close to my home town.
Just need the back piece now.
