I finely opened a box of stuff Ive brought off the net and found it all to be there and couldn't find something wrong with at least one part.
Thanks streetneat (even thou i brought the bits from you that long ago i doubt you remember selling them).
We finely got the doors to fit nicely strange how the openings relaxed a bit while the doors where off for years. Not the little bit we lost during repairs :lol:

I would like to say ill paint it its final coat today but lets hope Ive finished by the end of the week.

List of parts I still need to buy
back passenger window
to be continued hundreds of things Ive not thought of
