First problem - other than how long its taking - with the 90 rebuild.
Having replaced the rebuilt wings and started putting the lights back in I find that the panel that the headlight unit screws to has been installed upside-down by the bodyshop. This means that the holes for the headlight adjusters are in the wrong place, as are the holes for the screws. The final annoyance is that the cutout for the light itself is not central in the panel, so its now sitting 10mm too high. Put the plastic finisher on top and its obvious. Big gap at the bottom, plastic just starting to cover the glass at the top. (Insert expletive of your choice here.)
My first thought is to ask the bodyshop to fix it - but as they've already taken an age, frankly I can't face the delay.
Second thought is to cut out the actual mounting area from the original damaged panel, flatten it and bolt it over the cutout in the new panel, lopping chunks off the "new" where they interfere ? End result will be the light sitting 1 panels depth forward of where it should be. Anyone see any problems or have a better idea ? - The new panel has been glued into place and the whole wing resprayed, so I'm not keen on major surgery.
