Continued fabricating a new skin for my door from scratch - just too many dents in the old one, some brass in there too! I love my TAFE teacher - he knows old school techniques :D


Hope you do a better job that the reskinned door on my car... I swear the drivers door is 10mm shorter than the passengers side lol

I assume you are doing the drivers side as I did have a couple of spare passengers side doors sitting in the shed!

Yep - we already lead-loaded the passenger side door, flattened out all of the dents, fixed a rust hole in the inside pocket, filled in the mirror mounting holes (both pairs!!!). All part of the fun/challenge and one of these years I'll be able to say I "fixed" my Mini myself. Maybe I'm doing it the hard way but I have an even greater respect for talented panelbeaters now!
