Back at it again!
I have been doing little stuff all week, mostly figuring out how to align a door by myself (it's a secret method involving a floor jack, a scissor jack, and some poles). No pics of the process but if I remember on the passenger side I will take some.
The door to fender gap is better in person I promise.
You may notice that my rocker panel is still not in. The one I bought needs a bunch of fitting to make it work so I ordered a triplus outer rocker. If the triplus piece is just as bad I am only out $16 and shipping.
While I wait for that to come I decided to do some exploring on the POs "bodywork". There were some interesting spots on the passenger door skin:
They used the sticky backing plate made for household Sheetrock repairs and just slathered filler over the mirror mounting holes.
Working in a winter wonderland! Filler dust makes awful snow cones.
I used my new Harbor Freight Stud welder and slide hammer set to pull the dents out to a much more respectable 1/16"
Finally a shot of the work I have done on the fender. I don't think I will be able to save it, the lip around the wheel well is crushed flat and I have gotten to the point where each pull and hammer blow makes it look worse.
