I have a little project on the go, and could do with knowing how thick a standard steel door skin is?

I'd have said that Genuine skins would be nearer the 0.8mm and the non genuine nearer the 0.6mm On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
