OK Prop, so I guess I have to protect the door with some bubble plastic and some stiff paper, I am doing the last touch on them now, it takes forever to get them at least 90 % perfect, 100 % is show quality... I will never reach so far.
The wiper motor is a sneaky resto, I had a heatgun that was broke and I had to take it apart because I always do that with most of my stuff... (And they never works again...)
Inside I found some nice cables with a "cloth or fabric" cover (not sure if it is the right word for it) that looks like the original one. I cut up the original black rubber clamps and pulled over the new cover on the bare cables, then some crimping sleeves and it was just like new. The aluminum house is blasted and I also sprayed it with some clear coat, the "golden" round house is just painted with a can I had, some kind of gold metalic. I also used some paint stripper on the big round plate, it was spraypainted with 1 k so it came of with no problems. Not 100% original but it works for me.
