Is it worth repairing this door or would it be cheaper to find another with less rust?Image

Werrington ?? near St Mary's right ???

The mini king has a large collection of doors and frankly yes - it would be better to just simply get another door and go from there.

But the big question is why is that door so rusted ?? is the rest of the car as rusted ????

Yes near St Marys
Mini Kings at Narellan, right
The car has the usual rust, A pillars, rear beaver has small holes and some smallish holes in other places. Not to sure how bad yet till I get it looked at by a panel beater.
Thanks for your prompt reply Mike_Byron

Thanx for the reply Dr Mini and Dr JBeam

They are different unless you have a mid 71 roundy, which have Clubby doors (lift up latches).

If you cut the door bins off that's half the rust problem gone, rest could be salvageable.

Yeah it's a long way from beyond fixing, it's just easier to look for a better one first.
Someone must have one hangin' on the wall... :wink:
I find RH ones harder to find than LH...

More RH ones get taken off by people opening their doors without looking :lol:


The door is can be repaird. It would be the best part of a days work for someone who knew what they were doing. But if you took it to a panel shop, they would most likely just replace it.. it would be cheaper and quicker.

Well guys
After doing some ringing around Friday and visiting a few places Saturday I am at the conclusion that there are no spare doors for sale in Syd. Looks like I might have to go interstate to buy if I can afford it , but before I do would the door benefit from a door skin?
Thanx
