They look right and the price is about ¼ - depends on shipping cost which I've asked for, but they say 1967-2000 and I want them for a 1963 MK1

Best to ask the seller a question as the photo show's a mk 1ish door skin but the description suggests the later one with internal hinges which deifinitely won't fit . They may have used a generic photo of the wrong type .

Don't think so, that picture doesn't match the description. The picture is of a Mk1 door but the description says 1967 to 2000. They don't seem to know what they're on about.

The ad also says they ship worldwide but won't ship outside the UK.:?: Shipping will be pretty steep.

wombat, just a warning. if your going to get skins from the uk, and your going to the hassle of postage etc, make sure you buy GENUINE panels. even if you spend another 50-100 bucks its worth it.
aftermarket ones are rubbish in my experiances. they dont have the proper curve and...*sigh* they just suck

NOTED :wink: Just looking at options at this stage ranging from skins to replaceing the whole door with good S/H ones in better condition than the ones I have.

MK1 with sliding windows. Don't need the glass. Need to be relatively rust free under the window channel and 'blemish free' panels.

mad mk1 has some.
also marcello has some too http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=31750
if that fails, i know a place in morrabin has some for 220 a set. (not the best condition)
also i know a guy in geelong that has a few sets (not sure about condition) but you can give him a call too. pm me for his details.
quite a few to choose from

Maybe I need to rethink :?

I was worried about this rust
Image

Image

This is the only damage to the skin

Image

Looking at the drivers door the only damage is a slight dent and the top hinge has a bolt in it instead of a pin. So I may as well save some money - they are better than I thought. Don't know why I got the idea I needed to reskin/replace :roll: :oops: :?
