I got it sussed already mate, I just squeeze it between me knees

Somebody pm'd me asking how the handles were held in place, dunno why they didn't ask here ??? Anyway there is a tapped hole through each handle where a grub screw screws in to hold it all together, access is through a small hole underneath each handle.

Lot of hours in them panels but worth it

funny how that skeleton panel laying upside down on the workmate looks like a door with the upper part being the window!

I do worry about the things you see after beer !!! Happy birthday son, you lasted another year

I think I can see a small change of plan coming, cut the windows out last night and the Red is not very see through unlike the Orange on my coupe

Well more or lees the inner doors are now sorted windows go up & down really smoothly so turned my attention the the outer skins, as usual one of the former owners had done a hack job on the window opening returns, most of it had been chopped back, they couldn't even cut straight ffs !!! makes you wonder why ??? they needed extending inwards, not much about 1/2" but the gap to the window was massive !!!

First job was to key the old glass all the way around and feather the edge.










Next some cardboard (I favor Fruit & Fibre boxes as the resin don't stick to them and its nice with cream on it, but any will do) was taped into place to support the glass to be added.








Once cured the cardboard and tape is removed and this is what your left with, I usually give it a key and add one layer of mat on this edge. then finally trim to size required. I shall be adding a return for some window fuzzys at the bottom.

Its a gasser thing mate, obviously the plexiglass is lighter but no one seems to know why they used tinted, probably cos it looked cool

I prepped the topside of the window opening by feathering and laid up one layer of glass mat, this was then sanded smooth and a quick coat of primer to see how it looked, came out ok








next I laid the skin on the inner and marked it to give a 1/4" gap on the window, the excess was cut off and the edge sanded smooth, looks much better now.
