OK, I've got a clubby estate which has very knackered rear doors with rather fetching duct tape styling. I've been looking at replacement options;

1) fit new heritage doors - expensive
2) fit good second hand steel doors - hard to get good ones
3) fit fibre glass doors - no idea what quality or fit these are
4) fit one piece fibre glass door - not sure on the appearance
5) fit repair sections to existing doors - never done this and not sure how easy it would be
6) fanny them up with lots of filler - no my style

I've already got enough full on projects and want to just tart this one up as a bit of a rolling project - the intention being to give it a weekend respray so its certainly not going to be concours, just a clean looking car in one colour that won't get me huckled.

Your thoughts please?

alternatively, if any one has got a pair of rear doors in applejack green, give me a shout!

cheers

Rob

from what i've heard about the rear doors the fibreglass jobbies are supposed to be a real bad fit, and the single piece one just looks wrong imo.

i'd either stump up for heritage ones or wait it out to get a decent 2nd hand set.
