I can help you with the doors. I have a detailed order to do things and could walk you thru it over the phone too. Once you do one the other takes about an hour. Weather stripping took me the longest.

Wish I would of took more photos of the restoration on the winch, but there is already plenty of threads on 8274s. Also got new windshield installed in the frame. More pics...

Finished putting my winch together, not sure if I want to use my "W" sticker for the solenoid cover, pretty sure it didn't come with one stock. Also got a new fairlead for it.

Cleaned up my wiper motor, the mounting plate was a bit rough so I sanded it down to bare metal and sprayed it. Also cleaned up my wiper motor harness and rewrapped it. I know this stuff will be hidden behind the cover but I like to know it's clean back there

Here is the install in the frame with new hardware, I cleaned the arms really well and re-lubbed the fittings with white lithium grease.

Sorry to go into so much detail about the boring stuff, just my way to keep track of the project and I hope someone may need close up shots one day to put a basket case together.
SSCR,
Don't apologize for the details, every one of us love it. You're doing a great job. A lot of hard work and time.

Thanks guys, hopefully I will get the roll bar and back seats in this weekend and I'm going to install the hood by today.
That would look great with a split windshield!

I better look for them in my parts bins, thanks Eddy!
There are two different types of windshield hinges, I believe. You probably have the older style, before the motor was mounted down there.

It folds with no issues.
Any specs on the catch tube like length and diameter? Is it thinwall or thick?You need the little tubes for your windshield screws. They're supposed to be cad plated, not painted like this pic I found.
Amazing work...
