Door - Offside

The driver's door on RJW307R was bought many years ago from a nice man in Swindon who had a load of '7 spares to get rid of. As far as I recall his was an unfinished restoration, but in any case he had done a great job with the door I bought. Using a sound white shell, he re-skinned it very professionally and even left it unwelded, so that it could be fettled into place.

For some reason it grabbed my attention today, so I had a go at getting the door into shape and producing good door gaps. It was proud of the B-pillar at the bottom, but by pushing hard on it and then clamping up the skin where it meets the top of the door, I got them about right.

Just a think skim of filler to blend things in, and it should look ok when finished.
