First piece of door that actually looks like a door.
First piece of door that actually looks like a door.
Side window frame went on very quickly on top of the horizontal part.
Each of those is going to be filled with a flat pane.
Box-work that went in underneath the window. It's made of stronger stuff
than the top part, as side-impact protection and structural support. Yes
that's correct: it really is "recessed" inwards because (see next photo)
of the outer box that pads the vehicle out to a more normal-looking width.
Picture showing the planned outer box, and also where there is bracing needed.
Standing on the back of the frame, holding the door in place and bouncing up
and down sideways showed a *full* centimetre of flex in the frame. This is
because there isn't yet any diagonal support in at the front: no real
triangles. So, some have to go in!
