Welded up the cut down single cab gates, then put some acid on them to make them a bit more presentable

Trying to fit the front today but it’s out somewhere, I’ll give it another shot tomorrow, also think I have the passenger A pillar a bit high , door gaps are huge, I’ll redo that as well, I bought some American Racing wheels for it, maybe a bit to shiny at the moment

Cut the A pillar back off and moved it across 5mm and the front now lines up, next up is to repair the roof
