Wanted, disco 200 door.

Anyone got a decent 200-series 4-door front door?

Father's managed to naff up one of mother's, by rolling it back into a wall
with the door open. I've straightened the door enough for it to work but
it'll never look right.

K reg motor, if it makes any odds. AFAIK I can transfer all the various
componentry.

What colour? You never know your luck

Though I usually find one the right colour the week after I've bought one
the wrong colour :-(

These may be worth a try....

condition more important than colour - I can always get it resprayed; I'd
rather a really good door with no corrosion or damage and the wrong colour
than an iffy one the right colour.

cow-turd green, more or less. I doubt that's what land rover called it
mind. Not a common one.

similar colour to the one on your lift in the picture...

aha. You might be the source for the wheels I'll be hopefully wanting...

6½ or 7" steel wheels, 16", with 2" more offset than standard LR 90/110
wheels. i.e., I want the inner edge of the rim to be 2" further from the
centre line of the vehicle. I guess they could be 15" as well, for all that
- I could put 31-10.5s on it. I've had 7"x15" white 8-spokes with more
offset before, but I don't know how much it was.

It could be done with spacers, if such are available, but rims built like
that would be better. I may yet end up either getting 'em made or making
'em meself...

Had a look at some series FC rims the other day, and while they're wider,
the "inside" looks the same as standard 109" rims, i.e. all the extra width
is on the outer side, so no good.

there's a disco on the lift which is similar colour to the one I'm after a
door for. Mind, I can go and look at it now...

.... Eskdale green.

further to the door question I see the nice Mr Beamends has door skins...
what sort of a job is it to change one?

since I managed to straighten the frame enough to get it to open and shut
normally, this might be the best answer. Means getting it painted, but it's
apt to need that anyway.
