Other doors done too

The weather was a bit iffy today, and I wanted to get the other doors done and sort the boot springs. I wheeled it outside and propped up the boot with a broom to have a look at the springs. They need to be hooked in on one side and then twisted to hook into the other. It’s quite hard to do if you have a broom in the middle of the boot with you, but I got it done with no real drama.I lined the boot up as best I could, but it’s way too high on one corner so I’ll have to have a look at it. With that done I made a start on fitting the seals on the doors.

I got about half way round one of the doors before it started to rain. Wheeled it back in and it immediately stopped. Back out and got them both done before cleaning up the locks. It started to rain again, so back in again for half an hour while I polished the handles up as well, then back out to finish putting it together. Apart from re-hanging the drivers door as I wasnt happy with the fit it was pretty uneventful. Nice to have all the doors opening and closing, makes it feel a bit closer to being on the road.
