Thats going to be a nice subtle mod on the door handles.
Heres a question for ya:
The donor doors have the early type hinges with splined pins, do you know how they are best removed, and more importantly if you can replace them with the later pins that have clips?

Hello mate,
I am a VW owner now and have seen these handles done many times.
Now, my point is, as you have some black parts on your car, have you not considered painting the flap part of the handle red to match the car and leaving the backing part in black??
Think it'd look pretty damn cool on your car mate, not often you see ford boys changing little details like door handles!
The car is a real credit to you mate, it really is, what a great ongoing project!

Ok made a start on the doors today ,first thing was to get them measured and cut out of the audi doors and also give the escort doors a clean up .
Happy with the measuring
Just the inner skin holding it now
Old door nearly ready for the scrappy ,just one more bit needed
Skin on the top still to be removed
Process repeated for other door
Job done
Decieded to clean up the doors before i started work on them
After
Thats all for now ,more updates soooooooon

Time for another update ,had some time spare today so i thought i would get the handles cut into the doors ready for welding
Stripped the handles out and removed the inner skin, and also cleaned up edges .
Roughly marking the location so i can cut away part of the escort door to sit the audi part in to measure properly
Measured and cut
Test fit
Nice and flush fitting
Process repeated on other door
Job done
Well pleased with them so far ,next stage welding up
