Ooh really? Champagne gold?

Thinking about it, if you take the old door off and put a new one on, is it complicated?
Or just a couple of bolts?

how about the central locking when the new doors fitted
Disconnect multi-plug at base of door pillar, unbolt checkstrap, knock out both hinge pins, job done.
Wayne, if retrofiiting HID`s you`ll need the washers

That's a nice looking car Wayne, rust can't be that bad yet, it's not noticeable  :)

here are a few pictures of the rust on my car, just grabbed em on me iPhone

was told by a bodywork specialist that he said he could do it, but that its too far gone for it to not come back?

Similar as what mine was , i just rubbed it all down an treated with rust treatment and primed .....will top coat mine when warmer ....Bullet hole rust spots tend to be deeper corrosion so maybe some filler to bring out flush  ;)
