Back from holidays and been hard at it again, but not a lot to show. A lot of finessing which takes time, but not photo worthy.
After welding the other A pillar in place, I noticed that the top of the door frame didn't aline perfectly and was nearly 3mm-1/8" out. I didn't want to move the A pillar, as that matched exactly the other one, so with a ratchet strap, pulled the window frame back.
Now to finally have both sides of the windscreen frame meet. As the body is 220mm-9" wider, you can see the difference in the width of panel as the front has a slight curve to it, but the seam that the glass sits in is perfectly straight and must remain so. A slot was cut along the bottom, and the spot welds drilled out at the top, to pull the panel forward to match.
So boths sides were modified, so the seam that the glass gasket sits in, stayed dead straight.
You don't even notice the curve as it is so subtle, but it had to be taken into account.
Now for the last piece to go in. This proved to be quite a bit of work with lot of profile and lengths checked left to right to get them the same. The factory pressing weren't to start with, so that made it harder.
Was a lot of hours spent making sure that the seam the glass gasket sits in remained perfectly straight, and the angle compared to the top did not change at all either so there was no twist. I used a digital angle finder and got it to within 1/10 of a degree from one side to the other.
I also made sure the height of the window did not change over its entire length either. It still has the center higher to match the rise in the rear wall as well, just to complicate things further.
Getting a bit of an idea now on the windscreen height compared to the door windows. They match now, but remember I have shortened the door windows by 50mm-2" in the roof chop, but lowered the whole windscreen frame down without chopping it. I sectioned out below the frame instead, right across the cowl from one side to the other. I prefer the proportions now this way as the factory windscreen height was already lower to start with.
