the doors will soon be turned back to original, from one piece to two piece. i have donors but just need to get a few more parts, due to the fact that the donors are off of a car that got chopped into a convertable. i prefure to have quarter glass in the doors, for the classic looks and also the functionality. they let in air in the summer and are much better for flicking f*g ash out. also one piece windows rattle like god knows what, when opened.

i decided to refit chrome trim to the side panels and found that, the original holes had only been filled in with body filler. so i just carefully pocked the holes back through with a screwdriver, fitted new plastic clips and then second hand chrome, from slough swap meet. many jobs tend to not be as easy as first thought and this job was one of them. after fitting the trim to the rear and front quarters, i found that the holes on the doors had actualy been welded up instead. luckyly i had the trim on both the front and the back, so i used them to tape the door trim in place and then mark around it. i measured the center and drilled the new holes.

loving the chrom mate would black rubber linings (in between the body and wings) be weird yep black wing linings may be added. im thinking of completely changing the colour of the paint, so will see what i decide. white may look good with grey paint ?
