Doors - easy questions!

Post by ani »

Are the traveller doors (front) the same as the doors on a two door saloon?

Actually, just to throw a spanner in the works, Travellers had stainless door tops whereas 2 doors had painted...

Presumably the would still fit? I've decided not to do any repair work on the bottom on the trav doors but will wait till I find a couple of good doors from a saloon or trav. Join the queue I hear you say!!
Good luck with the new car - I expect the cat is still trying to find it's way back to Aldershot :o

The cat got off the transporter as soon as the car started rolling up - didn't stop it getting up when the guy was reversing though!

The doors themselves are the same,e its just the door tops differ (if you didn't want a painted top you can swap them over)

I was forgetting the tops, fixating on the atual door size..... :oops: but as Dan says the stainless will swap straight over from the old doors, (been there done that) giving you the best of both worlds!

I know that stainless tops were fitted from the factory on 4 doors - not sure if they ever did painted though

i saw that he had postage on door i think i will be going to see him at the end of next week so i could try to take some more pics if you like. i managed to get a very good one from a different seller on ebay last month it had no rot and had never been repaired for only £20 so all i can say is to keep looking :D

Thanks Dave - I'm talking to someone at the moment who's got two and he's going to let me know how much over the weekend. If I can't afford them please keep a look out for me. Four eyes are better than two :o
£20 is pretty amazing for that - I doubt if that would come up too often :D
