What's involved in building a 250SWB Koupe?

Having built a number of cars including a couple that needed IVA, it's time to throttle back and build something a bit easier.
I really like the 250SWB and think the Koupe wold fit the bill. I assume the build is reasonably straight forward of bonding on the panels but what about glass and door locks - they look fiddly.

Take your time and read the threads. All the info is here, try the Kebab thread to get going !

I am compiling pictures/text this week to produce a "Basic Build Manual" for the SWB kit, similar to the MX250 sticky tread at the top of this section.

In the meantime, as Lucy@lemans says, there are some good pointers here in Bob's build tread:
