Well the Jaguar doors turn up so I took off the door skin to see what was involved in making up a frame which would locate the runners, glass, and motor mechanism and also to see how it would fit to my door beams. The frame is made of 16x16x1.5mm box. I had to cut off the top brackets on the runners and make some new ones because I wanted the top box to also act as the bump stop for the window mechanism (Also has a small cam for fine adjustment). The next stage will be to fit it to the door beams.

Now I have finished the window frame it was time to fit it to the door beams. I put the seat in to see what it would be like when the window is down from a height point of view and its fine.

Well at first I did not plan to use electric windows but now I have them which means I needed to change the door hinge location so I could get a nice size panel gap between the door and the wing.

With the hinge in place I mocked up the front part of the door inner frame so I could finish the wire frame for the front wing/bonnet section. The reason for the mock-up section was just to get the profile shape because I am in two minds whether to make the frame/body out of aluminum.

I haven't seen a single hinge on a car door before. That's nice.
I'm watching this build in stunned admiration -way beyond anything I could envisage, yet alone attempt. Amazing.

Well the plan was to build the e wheel and then finish off the door inner panel and then continue with the wire buck/roof. But once I had finished the e wheel I wanted to have a go so had a bash at the bonnet cowling which made of aluminum.

Nice work sir.
Liking and very envious of your English wheel (and slip rolls, and space, and......)

Yes I am lucky but I have work hard for them. Picture of the old 8'x4' work bench which made up the side of the e wheel frame. Andy |
