You do know the doors are slightly different from early to late? The difference is on the inner skin.
I did wonder Ron, but thanks for the confirmation.
That's saved me about £200 then!

Slightly confused as to why Wallothnesch advertise doors as for all years, no variations...

Ron, I've hunted high and low for gen 1 doors but it doesn't seem there's many decent ones around.
Have a look at this picture though, am I right in thinking it already has Gen 2 doors?

Would you believe I've had to put it back together because I'm moving house?

Wow, that's ridiculous.
I'm grateful that my car appears to have escape most of the rust worm maladies.

They've all got holes in, just depends how bad!
To be fair this is from the bottom of the wing, and I've replaced both of those anyway.
