No, not the interior ones, but the exterior ones. "But wait, didn't you already do that?" Well sort of. I did the passenger and the boot, but the screw securing the driver's one on was stripped. I finally got my butt into gear and drilled out the screw and put on my last door handle. It's nice to be able to lock the car.

After spending entirely too much time at the hardware store sorting through drawer after drawer of screws, bolts, nuts and washers at the hardware store, I finally found the hardware needed to mount the new alloy door handles. I'm very close to finishing.
I'm not sure why, but I never really checked out the GB car parts website, and they have some cool stuff for sale.
Wheels: I've had a hard time finding the wheels I want in the US and GB has them for sale. Unfortuntately they are currently out of stock, but they do offer a few different versions but I have no idea what the differences are: 12x6 Superlights, 12x6 Superlights and Deep dish 12x6 Minilights. Interior: Also had some fun browsing their interior stuff and I found some cool goodies: Cooper Sport Shift Knob, Floor Mats and something that I haven't been able to find anywhere else; rear seat covers. I might as well kiss my savings account good-bye. Well it's been about a month since I last worked on the door panels but now that the weather has turned nice, it was time for me to make some progress.
I was able to finish assembling the front door panels and test fit them on one of the doors. (I've added more to my tutorial) It was a little difficult to get them to line up properly because my design was a little thicker than the original panels. I had to tweak the top rail to get the panels to fit. Overall I think the design came out pretty close to my original intentions. Well it must be the luck of the Irish (or the UPS man) but a nice box has arrived for me. I finally got myself some shiny new alloy door furniture and a Newton Commercial carpet set. Can't wait to spiff up my interior. The only problem is the door furniture doesn't come with any screws so I'm forced to make a trip to the harware store to try and find some screws that will match the beauty of these alloy pieces.
