I've pretty well finished the rotisserie, just have to work out arms and such to attach the car to the spinner. Busy as H at work this year so not as much progress as I thought I would have, but hey.. only took me 5 years to start working on it. A few weeks ago I started looking fairly seriously at the job ahead.. full sill/castle replacement on both sides and floor pans. Ordered a bunch of stuff which showed up pretty quickly.Got busy with flap disc and 3M paint remover disc to discover what all was bondo.. turns out quite a lot of it! PO or someone had brazed/riveted a bunch of patches on in various places; front lower fender, rear dogleg and above the rear wheel arch. Bondo is up to 1/2 inch thick in places, apparently the guy had never thought to actually try to hammer out some of the dents.. which I was able to do in a few minutes once I discovered where the dents were. More time to be spent fine tuning these bits. Purchased a pair of doors from a nice chap for a good price as my old ones were trashed, inside and out. Spent a bit of time hanging the DS door on today and getting it to fit properly, some adjustment to the car will be needed as it's sagging badly. Got the feature line looking pretty good now but not quite perfect yet. Still deciding whether to brace and put it on the rotisserie, or not brace and do this job on the shop floor. Decisions....
