Small update.
FRP door skins cut out, the mini handles relocated and panels are
glassed back in. What a pain! Working in 100 degree F heat too.
Have to make a new small bonnet, Tribute part too warped.
Cut a large section of the rear fender out to access the badly done fuel fill system of radiator hose and aluminum flex hose, all bonded with the adhesive (soft from gasoline fumes). Need to completely rethink this one.
Need to do the bonnet cut to improve the poorly located bonded on door skins by friends (need about 1/4 inch outward both sides).
Eliminating boot handle, and will use vintage spring latches from Europa Spares.
Then on to molding new "A" pillar trims as they were bonded on out of alignment as well. Grind the misfits off!
Should keep me busy for a bit! Camera broken, pics soon.
Noticed the front wheel arch opening is about 1/2 inch different at the lower rearmost edges, side to side. Easily corrected (this will help with my rockers as well).
