Looking good.  I'm slowly working on a K20 I just picked up a few weeks ago.  Keep it coming!

     WOW, you have been saving up and keeping us in the dark with the pics.   :)  I am glad to hear your picking up doors, that passenger door looks like it should be in a early 80's movie. 
     It looks like you motivated though, what are your next plans.
