Any luck?
I'm back stateside and started digggin into the current door. Less than pleasant. .. bout a half inch of bondo on there... I haven't got it all off yet, but its not looking good. Going to be a lot of reshaping. To boot the lock hole is pretty mangled. I could try and solder/spot weld some metal in there or glass it, but neither will be incredibly strong.

:!: :!: :!: I have a good door for you. I haven't taken panel off, but I don't see any rust on the bottom, straight as an arrow. It's all yours if you want to make the trip. :thumbs_up:

Holy cow those pics came out HUGE!
I uploaded em directly from my phone. Wasnt expecting them to be so massive. Might have to delete them for my own sanity.

Id love to swing by. How does next weekend look for you?

Many of us are having problems with roadmap-sized pictures on this new website format. I've done all I can on my end to reduce my photos, but they still require two zip codes. :(

Ha! Yea, I saw that story on the local news last week and said the same thing to my wife!

Big thanks to Paul for hooking me up with a driver side door.
Ive got it on the operating table now. Gonna knock off the little bit of surface red and paint it a nice shade of white to match "Old Speeder" as my son named her some years ago.

Paul has one of everything. Two of some things.

Don't let your wife catch you using that dining room chair as a sawhorse, or you'll have to deploy for another full cruise to let her defuse. :roll:
