Mangled doors...

My cous's car was reversed into a pillar last week... it resulted in 2 damaged doors

I found 2 reasonable doors in the right colour (bonus!) and started with the front.

A socket extension and a hammer got the door pins out, then just disconnect the electrics.

Do the reverse to get the new one on (bit of fiddling needed)

Do the same on the rear :

He's happy enough as the doors were only 150e ;-)

While we were at it we converted the windows to the motor in his and moved the electric folding mirror + speaker on to the new door.
Last think we'll look at is converting the rear door from manual to electric hopefully just a matter of swopping in the motor and the door card (which also has a built in sunblind).

Looks grand ,and cheap .Its great when you get used panels in correct colour.Real bonus.Also saves time and money having to paint internally/build up internals, then paint and finish externals so money saver all round!! 10/10
