Things are coming along. Rusty window channels are repaired, floors are in, remnants of old passenger door collision damage fixed, quarters are patched. Progress.

Finally had a couple hours of free time and used some scrap wood and a furniture dolly to get the dash up off the work bench and made it mobile!

Cowl repair, trunk cleanup, and seam sealing is done. Getting closer to the rest of body and paint!

Im so glad you decided to go through with the resto. It is looking really good. I said before, your family being involved us great
 
Looking just fine!! Keep on trucking, it will get done, just not as fast as we think. Hope all works out well.
 
Quarters and roof are in primer and sitting for the weekend. Still some metal work to do on fenders and hood but this is pretty good progress. Hopefully I’ll have time this weekend to work on the bumpers and dash.

Wow! Nice progress going on there! Looks like you have some of the same issues I have. Any thought on what color you’re going with?
 
Nice progress - a lot of bodywork in a short time - well done!

It helped that I had her completely stripped and “my guy” works for himself and is exclusively working on my car. Progress will slow a bit after this stage though. Both he and I need some time to catch up on other stuff!

Going back with original B5 Blue is the plan.
 
More progress. Got the oddly rusted passenger fender repaired and both fenders patched/roughed in.

Fenders hung for looks, not finished with them yet. Taking a break for a few weeks to catch up on other stuff.

Nice.

Coming together.
 
Got the hood blasted and started addressing the pitting. Will probably use some of Eastwood’s internal frame coating on the inside of the reinforcement channels.
