Looks good. Is there going to be any original Ford metal in this when you're done? Looks like you've replaced a whole lot of it

Not had time to do much since my Wife did this to our Toyota Yaris on a pole
Bit of panel beating later and here we are
No cost so far, but got to fabricate a new rocker section tomorrow, the I can start to match the door to the rocker edge.
Anyway, back to the crown vic.

Last 2 sections welded in at the top of the A post awaiting grinding back and prepping for paint
And onto the bottom of the A post that looks bad...
But in fact, once cut back is not bad at all
Heres a view inside the rocker and one looking in just above the rocker
Doesn't look too bad in there.

All cleaned up
Plate fabricated and hole drilled in the centre to get access for rustproofing
Plate and A post painted to prevent further rusting and spots where spot welds would be masked off first
Welded in
Rustproofed and seam sealed
And etch primed...
Not bad for a 21 year old car in rainy UK!
Here's the top of the A post sealed and prepped for etch priming tomorrow.
