Panel gaps on this side are much better too, almost even all the way top to bottom. It's as good as I can get it on my own and it's good enough.
Other side sorted too, much better fit achieved here.
Fitted the two catches on the driver's side and the door handles I previously couldn't fathom just dropped on no issue this time around, weirdly. Refitted the various rods and clips as needed and actually have quite a few spare plastic plugs and clips now which I'm sure will come in handy in the future. Locks work, handles work, it's all good.
Rear door quarter lights refitted which were surprisingly easy, though I did learn it's easier to fit the door top trim before fitting the quarter lights. Quarter light bars had fresh rivets put in, first time I've done that and very easy it was too, I highly recommend the Wilkinson's hand rivet gun for this job and it was £8 well spent I think.
After a spot of lunch I went out again with the intention of fitting more of the doors up but the weather had changed and it was bitterly cold and threatening to rain so instead I took the opportunity of neighbour's son being available to help bolt the bonnet on and removed the carburettor so I can rebuild and clean that inside later tonight/this week. Bonnet needs a bit of fine adjustment to be perfect but it's perfectly functional as is.
I'd run out of bin bags and tape so I used cling film to wrap the window holes up as a temporary measure until I can get someone to help refit the door glass.
I wanted to get a few interior jobs done but there isn't enough light to work in with the doors on the car shut so that's going to have to wait a bit. I still feel as though I'm on target for an end of February MoT attempt.
