Love to see these! awesome work. Exactly the same journey I had where one thing led to another.

Wow, yeah that's definitely a lot.

Check my journal, if you have a garage you can definitely DIY!

Nice; did you find any cracks/hairline cracks while the work was being done

I did, all the usual suspects - lots of popped spot welds, half moon cracks around the subframe mounting points and the split at the lower arch. Redish had flagged them several years ago during an Inspection II prior to me buying the car.







I have yet to see a crack/failure-free RACP assuming its not a museum piece and has actually been stripped back to bare metal for adequate inspection. The spot welds especially are easily obscured with the factory sealer.
