I drilled the mounting holes for the latch/ lock mechanism on the passenger side. Of course once I put everything together, the latch seemed to be jammed. I had the same problem with the driver's side... now if I could just remember what I did to fix it...  I'll take everything apart, ensure everything is moving smoothly and nothing is catching before it goes back together and gets installed. I also built new emergency lock/ handle mounting plates that fit behind the little access holes (I'll post some pics later to clear up what I'm referring to). They just need to be welded in place.
As with the driver's side, I also enlarged the lower half of the door frame. I had built the frames to match the fiberglass door pieces that I have. But since I'm using a lot of OEM components (such as seals and glass), I needed to enlarge the opening slightly. I'll later modify the fiberglass components accordingly.

I found the part that was binding. Just had to file about 10 thou off one connector and now everything moves smoothly. Once I get the solenoid popper installed, the passenger side will completely match the driver's side.

I installed the passenger side door release actuator and bracket today. Both sides are at the same point finally.

Slow week unfortunately. But I did manage to get mounting brackets installed for one of the OEM panels that I'm using. The curved panel that holds the grill for the main vent... much nicer than what I had built myself. To celebrate, I'm heading to Cancun for two weeks. I'll post some pics once I get home (of the panels.... not Cancun...  )

It has been 5 months since I last posted an update...  I haven't made a lot of progress in that time, but I did want to let everyone know that I am still working on it when I'm feeling up to it.
In general (sorry for the lack of details), I reworked the exhaust, adjusted the spoiler lift system, changed the spoiler and finalized it's alignment, changed the rear diffuser and finalized it's alignment, re-aligned the tail lights, installed the rear grill and housing brackets, made additional adjustments to the bumper positioning and alignment, and a few other things that I can't remember right now. Essentially, I have been focused on everything at the rear end. I haven't really started any of the actual bodywork, but I'm hoping that will go fairly fast once I have completed alignment of all components. The fenders and active vents are still sitting loose, but I'm slowly working my way towards them.

I'm just testing to see how easy it is to post pictures directly from my phone using the new mobile addition to PFF...
But while I'm here, I may as well give a partial update. I did a little work on the door openings. I made a lip that goes all the way around the opening so the I can install the OEM door seals. I've also fiberglassed some areas of the opening so that I can begin to give it a more finished look.
