aussuper did you measure the door gaps before you removed the doors so if one side is tighter than the other you can make adjustments while the heater channels are removed .keep the pics coming

Measured the space between pillars, not doors, fixing that another way tho, want perfect gaps, worked out an easier way, mod the doors not the body length, it sits perfect on the pan that way, and it was even when i started, doors seemed the easier thing to mod to me, will do with the pics i should be working on it now infact, since you all like pics.... this is me

Oh and on more of a GL type note, to break up the rust work, it will be rolling on a tasteful set of wheels, around 18 inches tall, 8s front, 10s rear, not rice style, not chromies, just nice wheels, wouldnt see them on this type of car usually but i like them, roof thing was me contemplating a 4inch chop, so i have head room and clearance for a helmet for racing, ill decide on the chop or not after the bottom 1/2 is done, dash is getting 6 gauges in it, tight fit, tested to see if it would all fit and be visable etc, im happy, now going to make the dash from metal and weld in, im suprised i dont run away scared with this, but i have the right things motivating me pushing me to do it perfect, or as close to as i can get. oh and no they arent the seats going in this either, i have better taste than that,

somehow i think ill be cutting another body for this, not having much of an interior so its gotta look normal, i think its beyond my skills and patience at this point, anyone done this part before?
 id love to see before and after pics and info if someone has without cutting another shell. and another thing... i think ill have plenty of room for my chosen wheel sizes regardless of height, this is at zero travel and i could get away with an 18x8 wheel with low profile rubber under there, then add fatter taller guards should be a peice of cake  ok ok this is the style wheel im loving the idea of, its not chrome and its not rice burner style either, more of a hotrod street machine style look...  Im sick today thats why theres a tiny update, also there is a vw show on this weekend on 1 of the 2days i can work on it so dont know how much ill get done, hoping to hand form my own repair section for LHS footwell / inner wheelarch that meets the sills/heater channel section, first attempt at this, cant wait to break in the tools, wish me luck, hopefully wont be sick still on the weekend either.
