Restoring a sporterized P13... My turn to play

[tatou]

The fun part is standing back at each step and feeling good about a project.

Agreed and some steps are more satisfying than others. Some are small but popup more and give a sense of completion like the next ones, below.

Looks nice and square, looks good.

Thank you

Your front end restoration looks so excellent that if you had not posted the pictures showing the process, most would otherwise would consider it just a weird duffle cut.

And that is partially why i showed the whole process... to prove this was all done from scratch.
I know some would say buying a new stock would have been easier and faster... but where's the fun in that.
