swapping doors **** a duck...

[drsmith1979]

Talk about a long winded and pain in the arse process!

Had to have the doors delivered to an engineering firm to get the door pins out as the hinges had simply been cut off when they were removed by a forum member Grrrrrr....

got them back and then went on the mission to swap over all the electricals and clips, mirrors, locks etc..... **** me, took me all afternoon to sort it, but its now all done and the drivers side will be done tomorrow hopefully... its the fiddly clips and screws that do your head in!

what a labour of love! haha

TBH i'd have just cut the hinges too lol, sod ****ing about taking the pins of when you only get a few quid for the doors anyways

[drsmith1979]

oh also,

is anyone interested in the willy door cards? they arent the best, no carpet on the trim and there is a small rip on one near the door closing handle.. someone may want one to trim and modify for track?

it has electric switches and door pocket. i'll get some pics if anyone is interested

What was wrong with the pins that required postage to an engineering firm :shock:

[drsmith1979]

2 pins were seized in the replacement doors, the heads of the pins had rounded off so there was no way to get them out, the doors had to be sent to an engineering firm to either drill out or heat up and chisel out... it too the guy all morning and said he never wants to do anymore ever again!
