Benn's on going build

Was talking to Keith about getting on with my doors after work, he said yes we can crack on this week.. :)
Pull the doors out and hold the handles.. Went over at lunch time, then again after work and the handles had been all welded in and where just about to get a skim of filler... Shocked big time. I thought i'd be doing most of it like normal but Paul the new guy dived in.
He's a very good panel beater and joiner and love doing this kinda thing. Having talked the day before he knew how i wanted them and having fitted some to a Saxo not so long ago he knew just how to do it..

This one (red) was the one that had been very very very badly welded in to a rusty sh*t door) The plate was cut down and hammered in to a better shape.

One of the best bits is that the Audi handle works just like the Nova, so the bar that moves the lock from the handle just needed lightly bending and it works perfect.

Now i wanted to be sure the doors where rust free, so i've bared the bottoms off, finding a small dent. But no rust of anything.

What they off?

Audi.

Will be interesting to see how it all looks when thedoors are all painted.

As said new style Audi's have them. They are like 90% flush...

awsome there guna look real nice.

looking good

When do you hope to get them fitted ?

For it to match will the wings are rear quarters need painting aswell ?

Cheers Tommy,

Cheers W88.

Edd, Hopefully painted by the weekend so fitting next weekend i'd hope. The rear quarter where painted this time last year, but there wont be a colour/fade difference. Paint/colour wont fade that fast unless really badly looked after. Which mine isn't,

So we're all good...

Plus having a good few layers of clearcoat helps the paint from fading.

It should yes.
