Juhap, you are quickly becoming my hero.  Great work friend.  I wish I had your skills with bodywork.  That's all I would do with my free time.

Way to go.  That's a particularly hard area to form and get the inner fender to fit, I spent a long time on that area.

Today I worked with rear doors. Driver side window didn´t came up and passenger side door had no door handle... Now they work and there are some rust protection stuff inside.

Got that oil pan pattern almost done... So I changed exhaust pipe of my wife´s Peugeot and worked with Eagle.  ;D
