Its how my day has been. Most of the day has been waisted, the rests been a utter c**t. Get up early to go see Keith to ask for a hand knocking the pins out of my doors to swap them over. When he turned up he hadn't bought a pin removal tool as he thought i had one.. So he goes back and get the one. Cant get the pins off for love nor money. He says come to the garage and we'll do it then. Get there a 1ish. Utter night mare.. At about 3ish they've got all four out. Found out when the doors where fitted years back, the pins that where put in where just ones in stock. That weren't right. So the pins where lightly tapped in so i could get home and swap them.

Get home, Dan's come to help. After a lot and i mean alot of funking about, we worked out the screw on end of the pin removal tool was a bit small, so it was pushing the pin out so was making it harder to remove... But this was after i had to do this.

Got the new doors on easy as, new Gm pin well greased up. Check strap in.

Move on to building the doors up.. Next prob. Found the back of the door handle is hitting the window runner.. GREAT!
Fixed that by temp removing the lower half.

(Remembering that when the doors where mocked up there was no glass, or runners)

Then i find, the window wont go down because of the way the pull works (to open the door) so had to remove part of it and use a old inner door pull, cut and bend it to sit in a different way.. What a c**t. Got one all dont and working now. so i can flat the off and polish it up in the morning. Gotta make another bar up in the morning which isn't fun.

So to finish. Dont ever put Audi door handles in to a Nova door, at the mo i wish i hadn't!

In the waiting time, i got my wipers off, sanded and painted in bumper grey.

Washed and cleaned the headlight rubber cover things too.

PITA but will look ace dude.

Door pins are an ass! Thats why my doors are still on and always in the way lol

Awsome work benn really loving them doors cant wait to see the car again
gessing you will be at billing.

Damn man, a upgarde you wish you never did?! Was never expecting you to say that about it, but then again it sounds like it was a right farse.

Note taken, no Audi handles on the Nova :)

You should've used an old bonnet stay to get the pins out.

Really interetsed in seeing the wipers on the car. Wiper arms look best in black and any attempt I've seen to have them in a different colour has failed.

Will be very interesting though. At least you got the doors on mate without damage, now that would've been a right funking pain.
