The last couple of weeks I have spent remaking the left rear body to the door.The body section pointed towards the centerline which is not correct it should lean somewhat out.I have also repaired the door plates on the rear doors.So also the plates that are under the rear doors.

The rear seat is now mounted in the right place fastened and also primed.
The pillar for the windshield is one copy made because one was to another year model.
