    Not the end of the world, I'll get replacement doors and see how they line up, knock the damage out as best I can and probably give it fresh paint.. The sr feels amazing in this chassis, literally transformed the handling, really impressed

    thanks man! :)

    got a replacement rear door last night, chucked it on earlier, thankfully it still latches etc so nothing majorly bent.. but the gap!

    so noticed a split in the inner/outer skins, enough to get a crowbar up to pry it out as much as i can...

    Whats the plans? Overfender it? Filler? Leave it? Bodyshop? Could be fixed to be as good as new by a panel beater as long as you dont go too much more mega on the repair.

    yep, literally used a crowbar lol :)

    Mint- i need to tub the rear arches anyway so im not too fussed about how it looks right now, just be nice to get the door to seal so i dont get any annoying leakages when it rains, then i'll decide whether to use proper 4dr overfenders or just a rivet on style one, or maybe something a bit more custom, then the entire car will get a fresh lick of paint probably in a different colour

    Fitted em, aligned it by eye for the time being, hopefully go up to A-Line to get it properly setup again on Satuday

    painted the engine bay all black to tie in with the new colour scheme.. teehee

    [​IMG]

    also.. cars looking a bit sorry for itself :(

    and spent a few hours this afternoon building a rolling shell into a full on drifter.. engine in, wheels fitted, seat in and all the other jobs we could do (hes still waiting on a couple parts) in the space of 2 hours :)
