Driver's side windows in. Still need to order the door B-pillar trim from DKnight, and have got a new lumpy B-pillar trim coming to replace the one I've stuck on there as it's a bit dog eared from being taken off:
Mirror image, note door handles now on along with new armoured door plates (C&R Enterprises in Nottm can do OEM new ones):
Painted the re-sealed battery tray:
...but it still leaked when I tested it with water - that's after I added more sealer, primered, painted and lacquered. So I decided to Waxoil the fucker and be done with it. The result is far from pretty, but I kept going 'til the Waxoil stopped dripping inside the car.
Pimp my brake servo:
While I had the Waxoil out the pipe of doom got a good spaffing:
Boot plinth back on:
Brand new numberplate bulb lenses and bulb holders:
Shiny new boot latch:
Tailgate now shuts and latches, added some badges to cheer things up:
Wiring harness now back in the tailgate - I'd de-pinned the connector at the vehicle harness end which is about the only way I can see you getting this harness in and out unscathed. Anyway, it went in okay and routed nicely:
New washer hose added and threaded through. This was more of a pain in the arse than the wiring harness, but got there in the end.
Wiper motor back in and wiring all clipped up properly - also Waxoiled the fuck out of the inside of the tailgate too, as I didn't want a repeat of what happened to the original.
Tail lamps and wiring harness for them went back in:
And chucked the rear bumper back on with brand new bolts for some instant gratification. At least the arse end looks a bit more like a car again now!
Only fly in the ointment is this:
...the pedal box doesn't fit!! I've had today off work with the aim of getting the servo/pedal box back in, and re-fitting the carpets so I can get the interior back in and out the way. Instead it looks like it might have to go back to the bodyshop for the battery tray to be modified - this might be a blessing in disguse!
Check how close the bottom right-hand bolt hole is to the battery tray repair:
