WANTED Cab Doors

Discussion in 'Late Bay Parts Classifieds' started by Max Davies, Oct 4, 2018.

  1. I'm looking for a couple of rust free cab doors.

    T2 made on 7 May 1973.
     
  2. Deep pockets required but there's always some from the bloke in Wales who's name eludes me at the moment...
    I'll post it when I find my marbles !!

    How bad are yours? Reskinning is starting to become a economical option

    Agree with this, as long as the person doing it is competent!

  7. I've been quoted £500 each for some doors that are less rusty than these but aren't rust free (from FBIVW in fact).
     
  8. Presumably I could send my doors to someone competent anywhere in the country?
     
  9. I know a bloke with 2 new ones, non swage line. He was selling locally for £1100 they had a couple of knocks from keep moving them to different storage places.
     
  10. i have a half door skin
     
  11. They're not that bad - a good fabricator should have those tip-top in a couple of days .
    If they're solid on the bottom corners you've got a pretty straight forward repair ..

  12. I’ve had 3 quotes for restoration work to my van and all 3 have told me to get new doors. Can anyone recommend someone to repair my doors instead?

  15. I could recommend the fella that did mine , superb job but the arches were fitted badly by someone else about 10 years ago so not a as good a fit as i`d imagined but not that bad !!
    Unfotunatley he`s moving workshops and is snowed under with work , both his own projects and customer work so it`ll probably be the middle of next year before he has time to even consider taking on other jobs , however small .

    Ye resto shoppes won`t be interested because repairs can be time consuming and less cost effective than good imported doors , simple as that .

    Having seen the pics of your van i`d be tempted to take it off the road over winter and get stuck in - assuming you have the space and inclination . First thing to do is remove the belly pans and see what lies within - the rest of the underside looks pretty good so you might be lucky :thumbsup:
