Front lid: Easy to carry. I had spotted that the threads were full of paint and re-threaded them, otherwise we would still be standing there. Some alignment, 15 min job.
Rear lid: Thought that was going to be easy, because I left the hinges on, only took the pins out (replaced with a bolt and nut), so alignment should not be an issue with this heavy piece. But I forgot that all hinges had received paint, so the middle part on the lid didn't go down between the outer parts so the hole aligned. I'll spare you the whole story, but using a thin screwdriver, then thicker, then the bolt with the threads made pointy. And hammering on the lid with a sledgehammer on top of a cloth and a piece of wood. Not to my liking, but didn't damage the paint. It took us 45 minutes to get it properly seated so the bolts could go through, all that time my friend balanced the heavy lid. He looked tired afterwards
Doors: Balanced them on a chair and used the lift to align the car, went easier than expected. When I closed one door I heard the sound of something breaking and something dark the size of a nail fell to the floor. Fortunately it was only some of the hardened black plastic around the wires.
So we got all four on, without major damage. I still need to spend a few hours aligning everything.
I had of course taped all the edges first. When I then started to remove the tape I found out it was crap tape. It didn't come off in one piece, and some glue stayed on
Took me 2 hours to get 95% off, the remaining 5% can't be reached Cheap crap tape!Enough for today...
