Unless your build thread is updated on a more regular basis AND with more pics... well there's an old proverb about that.

So this is what's really happened........
The lower valance thingo is repaired and ready to go on but....
I thought I'd better re-fit the guards for alignment purposes which meant I should probably refit the doors so the gaps are right.
Scroll back and you'll find that I had to cut a door hinge to get the driver's door off.
So............I cleaned up the 2 surviving door pins and re-aligned and re-welded the lower door hinge.
I'm up to "tapping up" and cleaning up the skirt tops and guards for trial fitting.
P.S..........
I did my washing and mowed the grass.

2 of the door hinge pins were destroyed during removal so Ray's Tent City to the rescue!
The left door doesn't fit as well as the right one did but it will do for this Ol' dunger.
All the front panels are gunna fit up pretty well.
Thank you to the 2 forum members that turned up yesterday and assisted!

Looking good Rob. So the tent pegs are the same size as the hinge pins? Any reason you didn't want to use the Rare Spare door pins?

So it got the better of me and I had a fiddle.The left door doesn't fit as well as the right one did but it will do for this Ol' dunger.
The top corner of the window frame had little gap where it met the turret though the lower door gaps were reasonable.
I inserted a lever above the window frame and then closed the door and levered the window frame backwards. I was surprised how easy it was to move the window frame without upsetting the door.
Still not spot-on but way better than it was.

Made up the worlds biggest G clamp out of a defunct valve spring compressor.
I think this might come in handy later in the build too?

Pay no attention Vick. Cohen wouldn't know if a tram was up him until the people started getting off?
