Geez Scott, great solution. Working s/steel can be hard work in my experience, but doesn’t seem to faze you.

Good Onya Scott

Having seen your work with door puddle lights, modified electric windows I somehow knew you weren’t going to just order them online 🤔

I admire how you often take the challenging path rather than the easy route, all the way learning something new and adapting materials to get the ...

Whoooo Hooooo, Hsppy Birthday. Cake looks a ripper

This is on book face.

Good work Scott, you gotta love refurbished chrome pieces.

When I did my quarter windows (using Rare Spares seals) I also had a gap at the top, between window & seal. I ended up placing a small washer between frame and metal bracket to close the gap. They seal pretty good now.

That was a great road trip with good economy to boot

Hello

From the picture the main battery cables appear to be affected. The wiring to the passenger headlight & parker/ indicator light looks sound?
