A bit of additional grinding and a few more pieces welded to the block to prevent some distortion and the final result has produced something close to what we need.

I received the specs for the grill grommets and using a jig I had made for another project I was able to modify it and press up some grommet blanks to try. They came out very neatly.

Then just cut a hole in the grill mesh and fit. I turned up a simple two piece tool with a tapered flange that bolted together each side of the mesh. Wind up the nut which flared the inside edge and then tapped it down to secure the mesh. Now just needs painting.

Door internals have been rebuilt including new glass and cables. The glass raises and lowers through a set of pulleys driven by a chain through the window winder gearbox.
