Like the movie of the same name with Bill Murray it seemed like today was a repeat of yesterday and likely what tomorrow and the next day will bring.

This is the door limiter, I don't know what they called it but it keeps the door from opening into the body, as you can see this is about to fail, I welded the one on my car and it has held up for several years so figured that I ought to try it on this one too. |

Fitting the rear quarter window was a bear, holding the glass in place working around the seal trying to put the spacers in position and starting the screws... talk about needing a third hand! |

This is how these cars were likely assembled, pop rivet didn't catch, don't worry about it, there's two more. |

This is how it should have looked, no gap and door should fit and seal better. |

Cleaning the track out for the new seal, tape to protect paint from glue and chipping while reinstalling the door, a tip, install the limter spring (below) on the hinge before installing and aligning the door... |

Done for the day, door on, adjusted and ready to go on to other side tomorrow, door will have to be adjusted for fit after weatherstripping has 'laid' down. |

I found a broken off door limiter when I was working on Ruby sometime back. I was looking in the nether regions of that area and found a chunk of metal loose. When I fished it out it was a broken door limiter that had been left. A new one had been installed, but they never removed the broken.
