Was down at Agrade panels today trying to get a quote on getting my two front door repaired as the paint is starting to give way due to badley preping the door and i suspect that there rust now too and they told me that i would be better off trying to get two good doors for my car for them to repair so my question is were do i find good doors.

Is your 72 a UK made Mark 3 or an Aussie car? Can't see clearly in your Avatar.

If it's an Aussie car, you should have clubman doors(lift up handles) which are reasonably easy to get in good condition. Aussie roundnose doors with wind up windows (pull down handles) are a bit harder to get, especially RH ones. These door sometimes turn up at swap meets. I think with UK Mk III doors you are going to have to buy from one of the specialists tha imports parts from teh UK or Japan, as they are very rare in Oz.

We seam to get that a lot don't we - but even so - they look like doors to me - last time I was there [last year] I got the tour upstairs of what they have and yep that rack of doors is there alright. At least it was then.

thanks will call around to northern minis tomorow arvo and have a gander...ive seen this rack they have b4 but its still hard to find a good one as most still have rust realy bad....missing stuff and some are so bad its not worth buying...but will go and have a look anyway...
