Today I drilled the holes as I had drawn them earlier. Also started modding the release latch as it needed some improvements.

Yes. I know there are repro doorframes on the market. But decided anyhow to make them myself...

So I took some 20x20x2mm steel U-profile and cut a buck in mdf... :) One almost done!

Finally last week got myself around making the other frame too. So next is to weld them and start fitting them to the inner doorskins..

Been too cold in the garage to finish the fiberglass work but now it starts to get warmer so I'll have to continue where I stopped...

Last week I finally got the windowframes welded and also got the innerskins laminated to one piece again. Previous owner had cut them and was going to shorten them as he for some reason thought they were too long for the dooropenings.......
