You will need to hard anodise the door skin, paint it and assemble it with thikol which is an aircraft spec sealant. The other method of atachment would be to use PTFE tape on the mating surfaces. Regardles of what you do its going to carrode but these methods will slow down the process a fair bit.

Own the day

i would be interested in this drive in drive out jobby or exchange door service as mine are slowly going and looked at replacing them this year

Its looking as though a skin on its own is going to cost around £115 each.

This is mainly due to material costs. I can only get 2 from a sheet of ali if Im going to have the grain going the correct way along the panel instead of up and down it.

Im also looking at making a MK3 onward skin but with a MK1 handle and and gubbins to make it work, bolt on brackets to reinforce the A panel for MK1 hinges and a sliding window conversion for the lookeelikees.

What do you think?

I seriously doubt it!

how much roughly for one fitted to a door, not painted?

£160 ish probably.

Its working out dearer than I intended
