just started Fitting the outer support

If you can tell I chose to run the out side skin up to the middle of the cross brace.

I also trimmed up the lower Dogleg

and started to fit panels

Next final fitting and welding

Last week we were able to weld in the pillars.
And start to button it up the long panel. I was very glad that I chose to go up to the inside support verses just 7 inches up. By doing this I was able to remove the body damage

I have the B pillar the rocker panel below the doors and the cargo floors to install.

Question:

Should I install the floors next and then install pillar and rocker using floor as guide?

OR

Install pillar using rocker as guide and fit floor after?

Fittted a gerson floor myself Very Happy

,tight fit getting it past spare wheel bulge.
Hardest bit for me was trimming around the heater tubes.
U will find that u need to make up flat floor plates for over the keyholes for the seat fixings( if ur using a middle seat) varies depending on seat legs and a decent catch plate.
Satisfying job to do grinding down all them welds neat is fun,greatwork there buddy Very Happy
