Well been at it again this afternoon, I wanted to get the drivers side done so I could make a fresh start on the passengers rear 1/4 tomorrow(hmmmm)

So, it was a case of finish off the floor welding and then do a final fit up up the door.

A bit jiggery pokery and some fettling gave a good result, the bottome of the door is still about 2mm to far in so I need to get the file out on the holes.

Very happy with the results





The door gaps are nearly perfect.



So tomorrow I'm gonna drop it down and get busy on the other side, the end is in sight!!!
