68 LH door?

(1/2) > >>

Hi, it's me again,the central scutinizer,


Sorry, just had a Frank Zappa moment.;laugh

Had a quote done and my repairer would like another door to start with, so,
If any of you have a 68 LH door in Excellent condition for sale, gutted is OK, shoot me an PM/email.
If I don't get a reply I will start searching in the US for one.

Chromie:
Why are they replacing the door?
If the frame is buckled ok, but if only the skin is damaged repair it, or replace the skin.
Another door will require a full panel alignmnet between the door and rear quarter panel and the front guard. The weather seal gap will also have to be set up.

P/S sorry I couldn't help you with the door glass;42

RHD.68.l89:
I would be happy with replacing the skin but they are as hard, if not harder to find than the whole door. Shipping is not going to be much different either.

Chromie:
Door skins are $700.00 + G.S.T.
$700.00 is a lot of time one can spend on repairing a door skin. Door skins are easy to repair because most of the door is reasonably flat and you can get to both sides of the door. I need to see a picture of tyhe door. It sounds like a repair is all that is required.:{

RHD.68.l89:
Chromie,
Where did you get the $700 figure?
Is it a hand laid, Press molded or NOS skin? I don't want a hand laid piece so Press molded or NOS are the only options.
My repairer (and I) would like it to be "as before" the accident so either a new skin or excellent used door is required. He is working with me as he was the guy who painted it originally.
Yes, it could be repaired, but I would know it was not perfect.
