FINALLY got some time to work on the car today. Alone in the shop was something I definitely needed as of recent and it felt great to get my hands on the car again!
First off I gutted the old door to have spare parts if needed. Plus it will make a cool walls hanger.
Not sure if mentioned this but the window didnt break and it was salvaged too.
I did find that the lock was broken when I pulled it from the handle, luckily I found a rebuild kit on amazon for $8 and it has good reviews. Was pretty excited that I dont need to re-key the car. Below you can see where its cracked.
Also washed the car for the first time since October which feels good.
And the plan is to get a proper cage in the car this winter so I pulled out the floor plates and all the dash accessories. Now all that's holding in the dash is the mounting bolts itself.
Lots of work ahead yet but felt great to get back in the shop.
