« on: July 04, 2010, 05:35:06 AM »
Hey,

looking at options to start doing up the disco,

currently looking at reskinning the doors but have hit a snag.

only places ive found stock them are rimmerbros and lrdirect. (genuine parts, RB has it for ?260...... for A DOOR SKIN!!!!)

i know britpart do make them, but cant find a supplier of them.

anyone know where a cheaper supplier is?

(ive found one for ?27.50 on ebay)

I dont know about cheap, but a comprehensive parts list,
including all the little hard to source,seals,clips, bits for locks & a good supplier thats never let me down with quality body panels.

I had to get mine for my Classic from LR. Not cheap but there was no other option, it wasn't worth trying to reuse old doors with marginally less corosion!

Hi

I have 4 very good doors with XS plastic trim still fitted.  This would save you having to re-skin them  Looking for ?20 a door.  Motor is based in Stirling.  Where are you.

I'm not sure if they arethe same size.  Can you measure them (front to back and top to bottom), and I'll measure mine tomorrow and let you know.

I still have the rear door and from what I remeber it was ok as well
