You've accomplished a lot with what you had to work with. She was a little rough. Lookin' good now.

Looks great!

Good luck with your project.

It's not on airbags.... so maybe I cut a little too much off the springs... but it just looks too cool that way, couldn't help myself.
I plan on getting all the glass in and finishing the interior next; I'm planning on doing a little bit of a mix of old and new for that, but am still working out the details. Then after that I'll probably just drive it for a year or two before I think about doing anything else major to it.
