thank you guys!
Got the chassis in
______________________________________________
Worked with the right D-pillar today. Gersons pillar did not fit perfect, had to cut and reweld it to make it fit but it will do!
I'm using the engine lid to make sure it's straight! Also using the valance!
Cut and rewelded it, it will do!
Slowly...
Kept on finish the triangles
Left side
Done!
Next is to weld the kickup in the front! _________________ Type 2 -53 smooth Gate SC (o\!/o) Type 1 -50 |o\ /o| Type 2 -55 Barndoor kombi

That is awesome work. What a relief it must be to see the chassis in place and everything line up. It's all down hill from here! _________________ 53 Hatch Barndoor

Supports done! Checked with the old ones!
Drilli some holes and weld it in!
Not fully satisfied with how the straight welds went out! But it will do!
Both sides almost done! Still need to bend down the lower lip on the left side!
