Busy couple months! Finished the sun visors to complete the interior trim.

Pretty spiffy!
I had a mobile glass company come out and swap the busted rear slider glass for a solid piece. Only cost $200, and no more plastic blocking my rear view.

I am buying every half-decent driver's door in southern Ontario to repair and hoard, since they are mostly rusted trash.
I paid $150 for this one:

Picture is after I cut out the rust and have begun patching the inner door. I have a sheet metal brake to fab up the outer skin, but the inner makes a lot of bends in opposite directions in really short order. It's quite a lot tougher. I'm trying to avoid an excessive bondo situation. Luckily this one just needed a 3/4" tab on the very bottom and the fresh outer skin.
Also, after a bit of tinkering, I am reasonably certain I've solved my no-start situation. My distributor magnet was cracked.

No cracks to be seen in this picture, though. I only spotted them after I disassembled the distributor entirely. The crack was only visible on the underside of the magnet. A new distributor from United Motor Products and a Delco module fixed the issue.
I looked into other options; this combo seemed the most cost-effective way to get the quality I want. So far, it seems to be working. I've never heard the engine run so smoothly before.
Also finished out my four month notice at my job and the truck will now be my full-time job until it's done.

-Metal patch driver's door
