Evening All,
It's been a while since I used the forum regularly and I'm out of touch a bit. I've just been Googling for galv doors and searched on the Forum. The main firms seem to be SP 4x4 and Shielder or am I missing a better one? I replaced the doors when I did the rebuild, which seems like yesterday, but was eleven years ago. I should have gone galvanised then :rolleyes: My plan is to buy basic doors and transfer all the fittings, glass etc. Not sure about going galv steel skin or aluminium - I'm thinking galv steel, but would appreciate thoughts on pros and cons

There's a company on Ebay called Stamp Panels Ltd - presumably that's another trading name for SP 4x4?

Would appreciate any experience of dealing with the two companies (or a better one) and which skin to go for.

@dag019 have you replaced your door yet? I read you were looing for one last year when I was searching the forum.

Cheers All.
 
I have not yet replaced the rear door yet. Am looking to buy one next month now I have gathered all the other parts. I didn’t get a definitive answer on Ali vs steel skin. But think I will go for Ali same as the original and the other doors.

I did use SP for the galv frame door bottoms for the second row station wagon doors in October. And have their front door bottoms as well, and have no complaints. I was going to use them again for the rear door next month.

I did go around the whole frame with seam sealer before priming to paint. Not sure if it is necessary but certainly can’t do any harm.s
 
I got a galvaised steel rear door some years ago ,,, heres a pic of it after about 3 years on the car ...
I was quite dissapointed that it rusted on those joints
