entropy Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Found this on the bottom corner of the passenger door when I washed the car: Thinking about it let alone looking at it makes me feel grim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devious Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Don't forget they rust inside out, so that little bit might be worse than it appears. Id go for a new door off the bay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropy Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I wasn't sure about risk going to body shop or new door but you guys have made up my mind. How much is likely to cost to get a door fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 That's something you could do yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briano Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I wasn't sure about risk going to body shop or new door but you guys have made up my mind. How much is likely to cost to get a door fitted? fitting a door yourself is easy, just get a good strong budy to hold the door whilst you bolt it in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briano Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Didn't know that! if its anything like the gen 5 & 6 and toyota are pretty predictable. there will be 2 plugs inside the kickwell so remove that plastic and then the door will unbolt with 4 bolts all you need is a socket set and someone strong takes about 30 mins to swap a door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briano Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 door lock is a door card off job and a clip holds it to the handle.....some people unbolt the complete handle from inside and swap this. I try not to do this as even though the same colour every car weathers and ages differently in the paint department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
