    No tools really needed but a rubber mallet is a good helper, you can just 'slap/thump' it on but it helps to use a mallet at the sharp bends just to make sure its right the way on. If you haven't a mallet try a rolling pin!!

    Complete re-wire is quite difficult without some technical knowledge, first get yourself a haynes classic car electrical manual, then have a look at www.vehicleproducts.co.uk and get a catalogue, you will find a chart on what size/amp wire to use for each component, obviously things that take higher current will need larger wire, you will see exactly what you need..............good luck.

    http://autorepair.about.com/library/a/1g/bl996g.htm The above link will show you about 'A' 'B' and 'C' pillars unless you have some good welding skills that is a tough area to fix, also it is structural and useful if you ever have the misfortune to roll the car, I have repaired that area on mine but since then saw a whole replacement floor pan that will cover some of your hole, also you will need a tread plate panel and the bracket to mount to the chassis, my guess is if you buy these you can temporarily place them and then see what metal is missing, then decide what to do all in its quite a big job and as others suggested you might find it easier to source a whole new bulkhead, they do come up on ebay. Anyway good luck and if I can help in any way I will,photo's etc.

    So does the weatherstrip go the whole length of the door or just to the quarterlight frame?

    Don't Ron, this is also my nightmare, I have to paint and refit my doors prior to Churchill show on 10th June, i know they will hang like a bag of whatsit, also I just know trying to get the quarter lights in after painting will be another nightmare, I can't see how you can do it without taking most of the paint off in the process!!

    I found the front pretty much sat correct even set at the correct torque off the ground, its the rear that you dont want to over tighten.........as you say you dont want to drop it down with them loose so I would go with almost fully torqued.
