 Wipers and Doors

windshield wipers
Time to drill some holes into the body for the windshield wipers.  Or as they say in Germany let's install ve vipers.

The holes get drilled in at an angle. Note for the next build... angle the holes towards the front of the car, not that back.


mounted hood

After much sanding and bondo, sanding bondo, sanding bondo I finally mounted the hood with the hinge.
 The alignment is a little off.  I need to trim the drivers side a little but the hinge works great.




passenger door
I bought a new sander.  I burnt out my old orbital sander. Picked out one with a dust bag this time. Ahhh tis nice to have a dust bag cough cough

I used the sander to fit both doors with not a lot of problems. I was afraid fitting the doors was going to be a big hurdle but it really was not too hard. 

Now getting the door latches to line up and close nicely was a git more challenging.
