[hoody99]

Well........ Today was just one of those days. Goes great then boom kicks you right in the ar$e.

good bit first

boot floor 90% done



These were fun to get off!









Now for the not so good bit ! Took my passengers door with me today to check the step I done yesterday.

heres the problem









Now the only way I can think to fix this is chop it all out and start over which I do not fancy the step is about an inch out to where it should sit with the door any one any suggestions or should I just go weigh it in now?

To say am gutted is an understatement. Someone help please.
