Well I was warned by Keith Townsend's Cobra build blog (see link on right). Using a polishing machine, Farecla and a fine spray of water, I managed to create a white stripe down my blue overalls and along the garage floor. Oh well, it's all part of life's rich tapestry as they say!

| White stripe from waste to shoe! |
As you can see I was impatient and wanted to see if I had fully removed the flash lines. I had! Below is the off side front wing, with a nice deep shine after only using G6 Farecla.

| No sign of the flash line thank goodness. |
Next I turned to the door fitting. The holes were pre-marked by GD, so were cut out with the Dremel and electric drill.
 |
| The holes cut for the hinges. Once the GRP was removed, the hole was filed out. |
The video GD Cars provided shows the hinges being fed in from the inside of the car. I didn't do this, instead I fitted the hinge mounting plate first on to the bonded-in post, then fed the hinges through the holes from the outside.

Next I assembled the door metal work. This includes the hinges, intrusion bar, the remote opening mechanism and the lock. I will either paint or have the parts powder coated once I know that they fit. A bag of assorted nuts, bolts and washers was supplied by GD Cars. Whether I have used the correct ones, only time will tell.

So the next job is trial fitting the doors and getting them aligned.
