This is a crazy amount of work to get it to look right. It seems like you would have been better off having a body cut from foam on a CNC and making panels from scratch.

AjZ - could be, but a J Watson body would be better. Either way you go it is a ton of work.

tough to get stuff done while working, but got a little completed tonight

cut off the excess with my air saw

Sand with a block

fine tune with 80 grit on one side of a filler spreader.

made some adjustments to the bumper and installed it. Installed my headlights. It had been so long ago since they were last in .

The passenger side install went well, as I had some pictures. The drivers side, no pictures and I struggled. Ended up building a new drivers side one piece bracket.

next up a bunch of body work on the hood and fenders

Front end ;looks amazing. iI really like the matching up on the body lines as well. Really pulling this body together for a standout quality build.

Keep it up

Trying to get some body work completed before the weather turns

front fenders:
since both wheel gaps and the actual shape are completely different, decided to take the best bits from each side.

drivers side Grind, CSM, Dynaglass, ez grip and lots of sanding.

got the door gap pretty close (tight) and somewhat happy with the shape

did some fiberglass work for the trunk area. Thanks to Murcie me for the pictures of his set up

Need a light and some grills

have a bit of work to do on a couple of pieces but over all pretty happy they way it turned out

THis is what it looked like when I viewed the car to purchase

[Havemurci]

[Don]

[Simple Man]

thanks for the comments Havemuric and Don

Basically giving up on doing any more body work for the next few months with the weather.

So on to inside projects

What to get my passenger door finished
so I can bond the outer door skin

-Installed remote door lock actuator
-OEM door lock switch wired up
-Audi power window switch with relays
-Courtesy light on/off switch integrated to Door latch like OEM
-Routed wires final connection

Amazingly only blew one fuse

[Simple Man]

soldered and wrapped the door wiring

install interior door release cable and handle

mounted outer window sweep

adjusted outer door skin for bonding. Forgot just how much adjusting they needed
