done a bit more tonight stripped drivers door was pritty easy really looks like it will need new skin and bottom section and i am unsure what to do about the piece that the window slides on some places its ok and its bad in others this will be my first time putting a new skin on so any tips how to remove it and putting the new on on would be smashing. i also grinded the bulkhead and lower dash rail on the inside all cleaned up and give it a licking of paint just to stop the surface rust looks a lot better anyway as goes for my door hinges they are shot need new threads and they are to loose i would rather get a brand new set then mess with these so going to order those the weekend plus they come as a kit so thats going to be handy. here is some piccys comments welcome cheers tom
