Progress is slow and steady. Door handles, cup mirrors and most of the side moldings. New hatch seal is in place - so much easier without the hatch in the way.
Front and rear bumper cover are fully assembled waiting for me to attach the beading. (ordered proper staples). Sunroof with new seals waiting to be installed. Doing serious sunroof maintenance before it goes in.
Stan, you were right about the mirror harness being moved out of position. Not by the body shop but by the welder to get access to the bump strip nearest the door hinge. Luckily I found it before putting the door panel on. I fixed both sides.
Punch list is getting shorter. Rear hatch, lower front spoiler, door locks, door sills and door panels. Then off to final buff.
Looking good Kevin, BUT it wouldn't looked even better if you had taken off the drip rails and painted them separately like they did at the factory!
Ha, Ha, J/K ...GOTCHA SUCKER!!
See ya soon,
Dave

Kevin, did you have any issues with filling/welding the holes in your door skins when you deleted the rub strips?
I'm going to find someone who can do the same with the mirror holes on my passenger side, and have been thinking I pretty much need to take everything off & out of the door to gain access and prevent damage.

The paint looks great!
Thanks.
Steel holes were easy. As were the aluminum in the front fenders and door edge. The hole nearest the door hinge is very challenging to get aluminum bar stock behind to get a good weld.
This is Ellis finishing up the weld at the door hinge.
