Coming up well!
Are you doing both sides at once or one at a time?
just one side at a time fully primed ready for paint.....

Seat belt position depends on whether you are making it a 72 or a 73 LJ. The 72 mount is closer to the B pillar.

PS As you can probably tell I am a bit biassed towards Hatchbacks TRAITOR!
4 years with my LC GTR was good fun but the ride was like a Ferguson tractor and the seats left a lot to be desired.
I have a degenerative condition with my back so the comfort of the SS seats and the better ride accompanied with the extra power is not hard to take
"LJ Hatchback" sounds nice

Its a common thing with US cars
And infact I remember seeing a LH 2 door in a magazine once just like the photoshopped pic
Hatch doors on a sedan shell
And there was a green V8 LC/J hatchback at Torana Nationals in QLD in... um... 2004 ?
