Who's going to be a busy boy, then?

Why do I have a mental image of SlimBoyFat sat on a perch with his Trill to one side and a cuttlefish bone handy ...

Stick up a picture of the old doors so we can see how bad they are. I need a pair which don't have to be in great condition for a new budget 100" build I'm just about to start.

I've got one that's stuffed. The wind blew it over and smashed the glass, and, iirc, there may be somthing up with the lock.

I figured it was cheaper to buy another used door than to buy the glass etc.

If you're planning on putting in plastic then it would probably be good for you. But I'm in Devon...

It's driver's side.

I'll actually have another also, passenger side, but that one is more or less ok, so worth some cash. And it won't be availible until I've welded up it's replacement.

Again though, I'm miles from anywhere so likely a moot point.

A few pics, drivers side:

They look quite tidy but maybe not quite as easy to repair as the older doors

of course when you get a replacement door painted up and on there, it is going to look mighty strange with all the green lane scratches on the tub next to a perfect door

I know, I just hate rust there are holes at the bottom weatherstrip.

The laquer is peeling on the bonnet and front wings, so will need to decide how much to repaint. As long as not rusty I will be much happier.

They look pretty good for what I need @Rannsachair, new bottom sections required as expected - what sort of money would you be looking for them?

You are welcome to them for free. Will let you know when they are off, lead time on new doors was 2 weeks then pallet postage.

I've got multiple sets of glass for doors sitting here, it tends to last OK compared to the rest of them! I'd certainly have them but transport probably makes it unfeasible from Devon. Thanks for the offer though!

Thanks, that's really kind of you. How often are you over to Glasgow? DR MacLeods have a depot there and can get stuff dropped off there up to me if its feasible for them to be dropped off there whenever suits you, no rush here.

Speaking of which, their box player Innes recently splashed out on a new motor.... a 90 complete with a Cummins diesel. All the best musicians tend get a proper LR at some stage in their career
