Mark, did you weld plates onto the frame for the sill bolts?  Or are they riveted to the tub?

Bobby, after cutting the relief for the bolts, we concluded the best way to secure was to put a plate outside of the tub and bolt to the body. the plate is bolted to the tub (see silver bolt heads on either side of each sill bolt. this way the bolt does not stick through into the interior.

I can take better pics if you like.

Mark, looking good. I used an alum strip for the trunk closure as well and put a plate for the sill bolts as well, but my plate was riveted to the tub so I used spacers between the tub and body. I like your sill plate better. Keeps us posted on the rest of your progress.

Mark, I like the color of your car. It looks like a light blue in the pics. Is that correct?

Sam

Thanks for all the commits.
Sam, it is a light silver/blue. Inside its pretty blue, outside (sun) its almost all silver. Have yet to take a decent photo of it. I will work on that when its done*.

Finished the trunk carpet and installed the roll bar past week end. Planning on finishing carpet in cockpit this weekend. 
Then dash, seats, door pockets.

Mark, thanks. It sure is pretty! If you have the paint code and don't mind sharing it, I'd like to have it for future reference.

I didn't know they got the door latches right side up on the 2000 series cars. Nice touch HM!
