STAGE 92

 Return to the BUILD


“In this stage, you fit window frame parts and the quarter light window to the right front door.”

This stage will be the same as Stage 81, just with the opposite front door.

NOTE: It has been acknowledged that this Right Front Door incorrectly includes the side rear view mirror. On the real car, this mirror did not exist. A replacement door without the mirror slot will be supplied with Stage 107. If you want your model to be accurate, wait for the new door before completing stages 91-94. If you choose to build out the door included in these stages, you will have to take it all apart again when the replacement door arrives. I am using the updated replacement door here.

Not much to say here as we have done all this before on the Left Front Door.
