First I straightened all the cages so the balls would stay in place. The I assembled on with out grease to make sure I had it right. So on the 3rd try I got it figured out.

Grease up one cage, line up the track and slide it on. Then slide it till it opens up at the other end and repeat.
Then reinstall the flathead bolt.
Installed springs, and ta da done!

Looks good! You always do a great job.
Today I started on doors. Got the new latches in, look great. Got them adjusted and working. I'll probably have to readjust the doors after I get all the glass in.
So it took me a while to get all the linkages right for handle and lock. Then I
Had too rework the repop key locks. The holes we're to small for the rods. So I removed the circlip and drilled the out to .136. They were .125.
Got the inside lock linkage in and adjusted.
Next was remote mirror. This was a bit of a challenge. First the rear screw didn't fit the hole (too small). The stud for underneath had the threads buggered. The nut they supplied had bad threads. So after I got all that figured out, the sheetmetal washer had me baffled.
So I broke two of the tabs off. And just visually oriented the joy stick correctly.
I then made a gasket out of window set tape to keep the chrome nut from scratching the paint on the door.
Tomorrow I start on wingvent frames. I brought in the door I took off of my first RR when I put fiberglass doors on. I'll be using it as a reference for putting my windows back in.

Good to see you spending some time on your car. 
Feels good to be back in the garage working on the X.
So this morning I got some synthetic grease like used on poly bushings. Has no smell, really sticky, and also is almost clear.
So I coated the door latches after they were installed .
