Got a couple of hours spare to work on the car this week over lunch thought I'd post the progress pics.
Started on the side intrusion bars had to go and get some nice stainless steel for the job. Stripped the carpet off the door the other day so then started working out how I could come up with something less cumbersome then the original idea that was suppose to go into the doors.
This is the door all stripped out.

Then I started to machine the bar I decided I would weld the bar to the door frame as it will make a neater job then welding a heap of plates to the bar and bolting it in so I started out with machining one end of the stainless on my mill so I got everything nice and neat and square.

After I machined that end it was simply a matter of getting the length right and using a port grinder to match it all in to the

This it all machined up and a check fit before final clean up and the to weld it in place.

This is the finished job it actually looks good in the raw but I still think I'll upholster it an fit some map pocket to make it look a bit neater.

I also got the time to fit the door catch lugs, I used stainless again for these had a sheet metal guy around the corner bend them up and the machined the lugs to fit and bolted the plates to original Kirkham door catch mounts. These came out pretty neat not sure if I'll leave them as is or make some covers.

I also finished up my dash board while I had a bit of time so fitted off all the brake warning and seat belt lights. Dash looks awesome everything nice and neat.

I have a heap more photos of other work I've done so I'll post the latter.
