Next section screwed and glued into place using Tiger Seal.

If all goes well there are a couple of pieces to add to the A post, most importantly the door latch. Then if all is as good as it seems to be I will bend the aluminium skin back into place using plenty of sealer/glue and tack it into place. Next fit the windscreen and back window back into place, then attend to the paintwork. All downhill from here on.

I only have one chance to get this exactly right as where it is screwed into the A post wood determines how tightly the door shuts. I haven’t worked out if there is an adjustment mechanism, or if there is how it may work. I am open to suggestions.
