Door swaps

Thinking of swapping my Doors for a set of Series 3 doors

I have landrover 90 push button doors that are rusty to **** at the bottom etc! and i prefer the Series 3 doors anyway i think they look cooler! ANYWAY i have seen the striker plates etc need to be changed. What are everyones views on doing this swap i have read the series doors last longer etc is this true?

go for it. my plan is in the summer to make it soft top and take the door tops off (90 cabriolet). i have to finish the wood for the speakers with paint although at the moment its like a daimler with the wood finish and it has heated seats along with aircon (front flaps open) so its top of the range

its lasted longer than i thought it would. a year now.i've got some sheet metal in my garage ready to cut and fit its just not a prority to me at the moment, i tend to leave things like this until it stops doing what i want it to do it was a quick solution as i was excited and wanted to get things in place

I love my series doors and soft top, it's great in the summer time. It's worth drilling a hole in the door frame and spraying some waxoyl in them also.

My door cards are made of marine grade ply with nylon automotive carpet over the top and they have held up well for a few years now. As a bonus you can fit speakers and pockets/nets to them far easier than normal 1 piece doors.

My only complaints would be that the series windows are easy to break into and it's very difficult to climb out of a series window if you get stuck in deep mud and are unable to open the door!

Im a big chap I would never fit out of them lol! But let's just hope I don't ah!!! Next question guys is what's the cost for a second hand set?

i got my 3 doors (rear too) for £25 on ebay price varies from that to hundreds so good luck

 

[danchapman2k2]

Captin how did you do That!!! That's a good deal!!!

 

[captain skellon]

more luck than managment just that no one else bid on them at £10 each and when i went to pick up the two doors i saw the rear door and offered a fiver i know it was a once in a lifetime deal

Just a tad! Well I have judged messages in the series section as a lot series owners want push button doors. So see if anyone wants a swap
