    Looks good, I like the roof proportions a lot more now that I see it all in one color.

    Is there a regulator in that rear window that actually rolls down?

    The rear window is a nice touch. I'm doing one in mine, but I have about three times the glass...

    Nice work, -Abone.

    Yes, the rear window rolls down in the 3 and 5 window coupes.

    I have shut my 3W up in my garage for the year. I have a list of projects in store for it. The first is to go through the doors and do the things I didn’t take the time to do originally.
    I cut the inner panel out down to the bottom and gently peeled it back. By the way, these doors are cherry. ( shame on me for chopping them). I POR 15d the inner side and when it cures I’ll do the same on the outer skin then stick on the insulation. Then weld them back up.

    Good idea tying the B pillar into the roll bar. Love that little car.

    Nice. The inside face of the inner door skin is definitely a spot that often gets ignored. Parting out old cars, I've seen quite a few get rusty in there, rust builds up between the window regulator and skin (often both having no paint on them) and they go to shit. Yours should last forever now.
