Looking good, Conrad!

I suppose they have to keep it outside for space reasons ATM, but shame to see the bare metal being allowed to corode like that (I know it's only surface rust). Maybe a car cover could be secured over it to protect against the weather?

They need to also drill out the chassis plate and remove the door trims, but I'm sure they'll be getting around to that anyways. Good stuff anyways - Looking forward to seeing it take shape from here! Thumbs up!

Miguel, care to expand on drilling out the chassis plate? Whats the options on the door trims?

As for leaving it outside I think its a space thing but your right, it should at least be covered up!

Just drilling out the 2 pop rivets will get the chassis plate off - Make sure you keep it safe, though - as you can't get an original replacement..

To avoid damage from moisture, rain, etc. those door trims should come off. Need a Phillips & flat head screw driver plus a clip removal tool, to prize the plastic clips off - this will avoid damaging the compressed cardboard behind the PVC trim. Keep all the original parts in freezer bags with labels, somewhere safe where they won't get lost, trodden on, etc.

Would recommend re-trimming the door cards in some nice material. We can supply Bride Mesh (Which looks like carbon mesh) inexpensively for example - which looks excellent. Or you can go silly and get carbon door trims, carbon rear quarter trims, full carbon dashboard, carbon sill trims, carbon wind deflectors, etc. but I wouldn't recommend too much of that stuff.... It'll rattle & squeak! Evil
