Your worst nightmare...
Very well executed and planned out. I love rebuild projects. It's like finding a diamond in the rough, after some patience it turns out to be worth it. Congrats.

Ready for painting!!!



Before mods is done and I used the seal as a guide on where to drill the new holes for the facelift mirrors.



Here is the markings for the new holes. And finally they are in place. ATT: THEY WILL NOT BE chromed. Just a test fit.

Also the door handles is fitted here.

Also ofcourse added the facelift third brakelight. In the first pic you see the old one and the other 2 the new longer facelift one in smoked glass and not red like the old.
