I have spent this weekend trying to finish off all those little jobs that are better done before the body goes off to the painters.
I have fitted the passengers seat.

I have also fitted the passengers side hinge escutcheon. I had been waiting for the door to come back.Its a tight fit ( the perils of designing your own) but I think when the door is fitted it will be fine.
I have also made up the door trim substrates and cut out the lead sheets to go inside the doors to make them feel slightly heavier.
The next job I tackled was to fit the near side stainless fittings I had made for the hard top plus replace various rivets with stainless bolts and nuts.
The final job was to try and decide which mirrors to fit to the car. I have a pair of XCS mirrors-which I bought before I decided to have a hard top. They are lovely and I was going to fit them despite the complex modification to the A pillar cover required. Sadly I remembered something Andy Hatton had mentioned to me about them restricting the opening of the side windows. Sure enough he was right.
My other idea was to fit body mounted mirrors but I just cant warm to the idea so the only other option was to fit the original Dax mirrors I have.
There are 2 holes in the A pillar covers which look like they were designed for the mirrors but I need to get some spacers made up to get them to fit correctly.
I have drilled 2 holes in the covers........ so there is no turning back ( without a bit of filling )
