In continuing to document my progress on building out my doors, I have the following update. I've not made any more progress on the passenger side, but have moved to the drivers side. I had help with me on Friday that could help with getting the latch going. Once I did that I just kept on going with what I already knew from the passenger side on how to get started on the window and regulator on the driver's side. So once I was over there on the driver's side, I decided to take that regulator to the next step that I had yet to do on the pass side. I cut the vertical track out of the fiberglass mount and made a new one directly onto my Lambo door. I was able to get much closer to the tolerance of what room I have to work within and was able to make the regulator removable.
Here are some pics of the work that was done Friday afternoon and Saturday.
 |
| Was able to make one cut for the striker to come through. Drilled either end and hit the two lines with the vibration cutter. |
 |
| Got these two holes on the money for the striker. |
 |
| Striker is on. |
 |
| Latch is on. This stuff goes so much faster once you've done it before. ;-) |
 |
| Rivet time. Keeps everything in place while I work other things out. |
 |
| Door lines up pretty nice. |
 |
| Cut away some steel to let the vertical get some clearance. All of this with the glass is very close. Can also see where I welded my small piece back to the horizontal bit. |
 |
| Made a small angle bracket for the lower to bolt to. Bent it as well. |
 |
| Both doors turned out the same on the angle of the bottom of the glass to the horizontal rail. I think I'll work with that. |
 |
| On to trying to mount the glass to the rail next! |
Thanks for your time and hopefully these tips will help someone else.
