I use u-pol dolphin glaze.

Most of the filler work is done on the near side and the final alignments of the door are all sorted, here's a few pictures of how it's looking.

Shame that door gap isnt perfect ;D

Christ this build is impressive, in fact no. Its inspirational and a excellent example of doing things properly.

I ordered a pair of new rear doors and they arrived yesterday, I wanted to save the Curtis ones as they are too unique to use!

Tom your new rear doors did they just fit right straight away?
