Replacement doors

Has anyone purchased a new repro door? I'd like to know if the fit and quality is ok. The bottom of my drivers door has rusted through. My quest for a used rust free door that is painted my color hasn't been very fruitful.

Re: Replacement doors

If you are considering an aftermarket replacement door since you can't locate a used one in your color, why not get a nice condition used door and paint it?

The after market door will need painted anyway, and will be more money out of your pocket than a used one most likely...just curious.

Out here in NJ rust free doors are kind of rare. I've looked at half a dozen and they all were rusting on the inside.
