Hi
Not a lot of progress as been out in France and some illness at home has meant I get limited time to do anything to the car. However managed a few hours recently and managed to address the main door glass where the glass is not too bad thankfully as probably difficult to find (plain glass), but the metal support had some rust showing. So I decided to rub it down, apply the rust treatment/primer and applied a coat of a zinc based paint to hopefully keep in decent condition. (Photo below)
I also manage do sort out the final stainless parts and started polishing it. One of the final parts I had been trying to find are a pair of external door window scraper trim. Most of these appear to separate the scraper from the main trim piece. I nearly bought a pair from a late HPE VX, but decided they were no better than the pair from the donor Coupe. Once cleaned up I need to attach the scraper to the main trim piece, some comments have suggested using bonding compound such as Sikaflex works, so will be giving that a go. Note these external scrapers are different to the original pre facelift ones and in my view are a better design to keep water out of the internals of the door.
