many thanks for the comments i finished the door skin today just need line it up on car and tack into place and ya am really happy with how the roof came out. The door on the drivers side still wasn't what i wanted still not lining up for my liking and noticed the door post was still a little forward at the bottom so got a block of wood and a hammer and gave it a few taps and now door sits like this







And also anyone know what the extra hole here is for
