Peeling The Onion

Hanging the replacement door provided reference for where the jamb and pillar (and replacement quarter) should be, clearly there was a lot more investigation required here! Removal of the old panels could now begin.

The Nova doors can be easily hung and removed by just pulling the pins without having to realign each time.

I suspect the replacement panel was trimmed below the sail panel to simplify/shortcut the repair. The entire bodyline was formed in Bondo.
