nearly there with the drivers door :) here i was dressing the
door top with the new felt runners, really fiddly time sapping
job trying to match the screw you are putting in blind, to the
hole you previously drilled blind, basically doing it by feel
and trial and error. i also put loads of waxoil in the screw
holes and behind the glass sliders so it was getting a bit mind
bending.

retaining strip on the fixed forward window

this is the fixed window from the outside, i used butyl rubber
strip which comes in a preformed bead on a roll with non stick
backing, like a huge comedy fruit winder, nicely squished out
thatll do it

here i swapped over the window lock from the old door, fitted
the rubber blade draft excluder thing that goes between the two
panes, also riveted on the rubber seal that goes between the
door bottom/top. (lip on the cabin side, lip upwards, incase
you are wondering !)

also did a couple bits on door bottoms, fitted a couple strips
of bitumen anti-drum pads. these will give the door a bit of
build quality and stop the road noise a bit. gonna do the same
on the floor panels.

confession time, i originall said i was gonna refurb my station
wagon trim set. then one evening while browsing exmoor trim
(making my imaginary wish list for when the euro millios roll
in) i noticed they sell exact copies of the deluxe/station
wagon trim! you get 2x door cards, 2x arm rests, 2x upper door
cards, for the same price as a weekend out on the lash. that
was a complete no brainer, ordered them up because i'm getting
lazy in my young age and saves me about 2 days. heres two of
the bits test fitted to the door bottom

i took the door card off the the passenger door for a quick
peek. not *as bad, but still needs exactly the same amount of
work, bottom rail replacement, new door top.

That's some neat work! Need to do some repairs on my 88"s doors
soon but I need to keep the patina.. whilst the frames
themselves aren't bad it's the area around the door lock that
needs sorting.
Keep it up!

Other than the window lock and the two screws at the bottom of
the panel, what holds on the upper most piece of door trim?

the panel has an "n" shaped lip that runs the length along of
the top edge, hooks over the door top. then the 2 screws you
can see either end of the arm rest.
the window lock is actually behind a square cutout in the panel

Thanks Darren, I've made my own lower trims and intend to make
the other parts, probably making the middle section curved
without the arm rest.
