Oh. one's. god. After 11 months, finally I've got the fibreglass doors in my sweaty mitts. No time to do anything this week as I'm away for 2 weeks on Friday, but it will be full speed ahead when I get back. They are a nice piece of work and very light.

Very good - are the frames reinforced?

Will the Perspex be permanently fixed or will it operate with a safety belt?

The tops are moulded with woven cloth and epoxy resin normally used for carbon fibre. I will have to make some sort of window track which will extend up into it. I'll have to figure all that out once I've hung them.

At least you have got frames - unlike the '72 windows, that was a real mare.
