 decided to attach to door jam to the quarter panel first, then attach the assembly to the car. Need to do a little repair at the bottom gap on each side. |

 since the backside of the sail panel would be nearly impossible to get to once installed, I prepped and coated the inside them with epoxy sealer/primer |

 I also applied some seam sealer in the door jam area since it is easier to reach now. |

 before re attaching the rear quarter panel, I finished up the braces that tie the rear lower control arm mounts together. |

That's some thorough work...I don't have nearly that much patience. Another Subaru conversion is welcome and I look forward to your next project on this car.
