The D2 Forums

Sadly its looking more like this:
Door has been dismantled, with the door card still attached and the loom in. The Patent Pending Ronin method. Super rusty and bodged door lock replaced with a good used one: Then it was time to put the window frame in. This is my most hated procedure on D2's as its hard to align it all properly at first attempt so the shut line is all good, and the door closes nicely. Marking the bolts helps a lot: Missing sound deadning matt replaced: Missing hardware for the door grab handle replaced. This is not the d2 specific hardware but it fits and will do the job for now: Final result. A door that opens, closes and doesn't pop of its broken door clips when pulled:

Impressive stuff.

This is like one of MJ's WITW threads.

Now for the other three doors. For completeness

This is WITW on a budget

I have now ran out of parts to fit, so I'll update the thread once another care package arrives from the influential investor.

A few small wins from yesterday:

Boot grommets fitted: Correct mirror glass installed: Hand brake trim repaired using my 3d printed piece (available for free on forums) And found this. This must be some remains of an alarm system, although i recall seeing the same exact connector on at least one more S8 I've worked on..

Another little victory:

2x new ebay indicators fitted, if anyone wants a link here it is:

they come with new bulbs too which is a bonus.
