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

Gaun yersel! This Oban is for you!
Thanks Oban..ite...l was just trying to stay sane..thankfully this morning the other parties insurers admitted liability...now l'm hoping l can get a 79 series from the replacement vehicle franchise until the utes assessed for repair...altho l'm not holding my breath...so far l've been offered a Ford Wildtrak...which l'm not keen on as l've only really seen them up for sale... which isnt a good omen in my book...
