Hello,
well, the frame on then rear door is on its way out and the two front doors are rusting badly at the base.
Looking on line at the bay of E's there seems to be two distinct paths for the rear doors.... either galvanised super duper ones at just under 400 quid or budget at 150 - 180 but do not hang the spare wheel on these warnings!

has anyone tried the cheaper ones? are they any good?
anyone got a wheel support bracket for sale cheap : :)

any advice as to where to avoid is as appreciated as where to go.

thanks in advance

Just done my rear door. Looked around a lot for replacements and settled on a door from paint man panels. I made the right choice as the quality of the door is better than original one. Not galved but it comes primed and you just need to undercoat and top coat it. I also treated the frame with dinitrol to help protect it. Got a good price from paint man. Also got the paints I needed too. I can recommend them for their quality of parts and service. Buy new doors if you can. I looked at a few second hand ones too but they were all as bad as my ones. Ps. The door I got can take the spare wheel. It’s as solid as a horses cxxk ✌🏻
