No, that is the pin for the door check strap, supposed to have an E clip on it to hold the bar down.
Smashing work there young man
Seems the nice weather has inspired us all to get the tools out and crack on with a bit of spannering
Soon be on to the front end and then a bit of engine work and she's done

Starting out is always the hardest part and the trouble is that only experience can teach you stuff and being the hobbyinsts that we are it's often a case of we just get the knack of doing something and then we move on to doing something else and don't use that new skill often enough to keep it sharp.
Worry not, you're doing great.

I've removed my E clip already as had the back door off but you can see the groove it sits in .
Aha cheers. That wasn’t attached on mine. Not sure I have the strap

No. Underneath the hinge end of the rear door, you should find the check strap. You may need to look from underneath

With the right amount of alcohol almost anything is possible
I wonder if a Bacardi Breezer would buy it?

Me boot straps are in and the remainder of my boot floor is out. Also brushed up the boot door surrounds and painted. One of my rear cross member mounts is on the **** slightly. Hopefully this isn’t an issue. I’ll be ready for bootfloor very soon.
For the first time in over a year, the car doesn’t have a single axle stand under it. I needed a morale boost and also to tidy up so spent the afternoon bolting it back up. Everything lined up and went together nicely apart from trying to install the wrong bushes for a full hour last night
Bit bored of welding at the moment so I filled the rear of chassis and body with 2 tins of dynax which goes on very well and sticks, even to verticals.
Torqued up all suspension bolts (176nm) is quite a hard to do in some places but all done. Whipped off rear prop. Cleaned it right up and painted. UJ has no play in.I also fitted drive shafts. Paper gaskets looked pretty rubbish so just used hylomar. I have a bit of play in rh drive shaft but don’t know how much is acceptable?
