the doors are pritty good, one has rust along the bottom of it not on the outside, on the inside under the tray thingy bit.

i may be mad, but $125 for two clubman doors with rust...... nope i don't think so.

I am selling 2 doors for $50 without rust....

Those prices seem silly really.

Cheers
Aaron

What he said ^^^
Only doors worth $125/pr in dubious condition are 850 sliders, because those are getting rare. :wink:

$125 from a wreckers sounds about right, cheap even - especially if it includes the inner and outer handles. I'd want them without rust though.

I paid around 50 bucks for a drivers wind up window (mk1) complete. As the locks on the doors handles are hard to get in working condition. Every one I've come across has been seized. Same with boot locks, but I've got a few spare working ones now after finding out the hard way after getting a few sets of keys cut....

The only way to fix rust is to cut it out and weld in a new section or buy and fit a new door skin or a combination of both.

Filling the holes with bog, sanding it down and repainting it will not work. The rust will reappear in less than 12 months.

I agree with all the others. The doors are not worth $125 with rust. Someone (Aaron) has offered you a rust free set for a lot lot less
