Ah…. Thank-you.
I remember you commenting about the screw orientation on my gauge cluster and my wiper blade disorientation. I figured the window cranks would appeal to the OCD..
What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

Oh yes, you mean the Warden. I’m familiar with her! “Stinky truck gas smell” has been on the to-do list for a long time.
I bet they’re related. Maybe not in the traditional sense but, I’ll go out on a limb here and say they both have XX chromosomes. I mean, what are the odds…
awesome work. Mind sharing your sources for the items to assemble the doors. I have both old and new doors, now I just need to cannibalize the old doors to build the new ones.I bet they’re related.

To the best of my recollection:
eBay purchase: stateside inventory. Probably out of Columbia. Non OE Black door cards with questionable parental linage.
OE black bezels and screw. CCOT as I recall.
OE male clips inserts / OE female inserts. SOR
Non OE Window cranks. SOR
Non OE door pulls/handles of unknown origin. SOR

thank you Sir! Now I need to order the door seals from City Racer and the window felts (OE?).
It's pretty hard to spot a bright yellow 40 in front of you in full sunlight, right?
Make them resit their test... maybe in Berlin?
Probably $12k of damage to that Audi
Paint prep. Got the chassis back home. Going to clean, touch-up, then reinstall the rebuilt drivetrain. Finally onto the putting it back together for the last time phase

I’m guessing 2nd time around the barrel…
You’re gonna luv it, I have a sniper on my 72 FJ 55, runs great.
Got tired of holding my hand up to block the sun and purchased a set of City Racer (Toyota) Sun visors. Should cut down on the number of people waving at me too.
I bought after market rubber push in upper window seals and they suck. I'm looking for another solution or might clean up my old felts with the chrome edge.
I wanted the fiber board door cards but they sent me the plastic ones with no vinyl on the inside of the cabin. Oh well.Initial adjustment:
Something that worked for me and turned to be a 99% solution. When I added the male inserts/clips I made sure the clip was fully seated in the opening pic 1. The corners are oriented on about a 45* angle. Pic 2 is good shot of the orientation.
Then, starting with bottom of the card, I inserted the clips from corner to corner. I tried initially starting on the top corner to corner. Soon realized I couldn’t see the bottom (duh)of the card. Regrouped and adjusted fire. Starting from the bottom going corner to corner made it easy/simple.

That's a bummer. I got the City Racer window runs and they were absolutely perfect for my '75. I went OEM for the inner and outer felts.
What all do you need? I have some extra parts. Hit me up over on the “Face Lift” thread.
Hi Guys, I've spent days doing insurance paper work and l'm going slightly mad....so l took time out for a distraction.. this probably won't be everyones cup of tea but its a timelapse of a 40 being rebuild & redesigned...enjoy....
Do you have a part number for the OEM kit?Well I got it all back together today. So far so good. Even gave it a fresh coat of paint to make it look like a real reman
