Extra projects.
So I was working on my car last night and noticed the fuel door didn't really match the body very well. I got distracted and set out to fix that. 
It took about two hours to move the door 1/8" down so that it matches up with the body better. I had to grind the bottom of the base down and the end of it shorter, then repaint the edges after smoothing it out. I'm happy with how it turned out, I just am
at myself for doing that.
I adjusted just about every body panel to fit better so now it's pretty good. The smaller side panels were the most off, it's just some Torx bolts to loosen up then shift the panel.
One thing of note, the fuel door lid that opens was not square to the base were the gas cap is. On the passenger side of the base the length of the metal stuck out past the lid, it was easy to see why it didn't fit perfectly.
