tops of the doors have been welded. just need to tack the doors shut and thats all that ballache done.
well, kinda doing it backwards. the tailgate is all spot welded in, the doors are spot welded shut and i dropped a small piece of metal somewhere into the door so now ill have a characteristic rattle lol

cut 0.09" sheet, holding it at an angle in the door and spot welding it in, bottom of the arches is spitting like a bitch which is why it looks shocking atm
