Today the new lock barrels arrived, so i quickly installed them (quickly is a lie, it was a bit of a faff), you now need the actual key to open the doors rather than any flat shaped object, which is nice.
All apart from the fuel cap, which appears is a one way fitment and not designed to have the barrel changed. After very carefully drilling of the old barrel it was out and everything was still intact. However a very small but very import spring had disappeared rendering the whole cap useless ................... new one on order.

While I have all the door covers off I will prep the doors with rust killer and a coat of Hammerite which should prevent any further rust building up until I fully strip and repaint the doors. 2nd row doors are worse than expected and have a very bodged repair job, I will have to review whether new ones are needed.
