Door Skin Replacement
Skin repair/fitment ,from a skin fitment Virgin 1/half hours work.
I always wanted to be a panel beater.
step one,grind down the perimeter till it splits
grind spots as they stop you lifting the inner skin,
grind the spots on the outer skin ,start to lift,grind the top parts
off she comes,48 years the innards love to see the sun,
dont rush to close it,clean and treat it
bang on a new skin and away you go.
Dont really know how to do it right I hope it helps someone
Cheers Jase

I did try the half skins,didnt work for me,(doubt if they have for anyone)I would recommend finding rust free doors or close too
and go from there

Re: Door Skin Replacement
Hi Guy's I am new to this conversation. I need door skins or at least halves and it appears we can't get'em. Not even at rare spares??
Is there a reason for this? They seem to have everything else.
Grrrr

Re: Door Skin Replacement
Rare spares suck,Harrisons used to be allright..
the pricks want your money and dont give a hoo haa bought what they
sell ..stick to orig parts
or make your own/fix what you got,
as most of the remade chinese shit is a quik fix
for a non keeper/and wont $*#@ fit
