looks good matt.....
Advice on fitting your doors.. first important thing is to make sure you add at least 10 kilo in there for the correct weight.. empty door shell is about 10-11 kilo.. when assembled 20-21 kilo..
Make sure you are happy with how it sits as to the rear opening.. Make sure that is even.. about 3-4mm seems to be the go with it sitting to match the cowl and the top of door is nice.... dummy fit a guard to help aline.. dont need the front radiator.. It can sit on the inner skirt.... Then check the top frame of the door, making sure there is at least 2-3mm min gap. U can move the frame if needed,, but make sure that the gap is even up to the roof, install the rear quarter glass with the pinch weld. as it aligns with this as well I go for even gaps between door and quarter glass, all the way from bottom to top. U can move the quarter around a bit... when this is correct. I always make sure the door sits a tad high, to allow for future sagging/settling. aling the sill to the door with about a 4mm gap....
When you put the guard on.. you have a bit of play as to forward back, up and down.. Not a lot, but enough to get the gaps right... If using the repo guards.. They sit funny.. either you have the body line correct or you get the cowl gap correct.... go for the body line and fix the cowl end/door gap....., youll find the guard will sit crooked... the gap up top will be big and the gap at the bottom will be small.... grind and weld to be fussy AFTER its all fitted/welded together...
IF ALL THAT FAILS.. assemble the car with guards etc but donrt weld guards on, tech screw in the final position.... the cut the hinge barrels off the A-piilar.. fit barrels to doors, tach the doors in your desired positin..making sure you have the strickers in place.. Then take off the guards..weld the outer side.. untack doors, weld other side.. Way easier I think .
