It's not really a question but more of a challenge. Drivers door mechanism collapsed today and I see a new door is now warranted. Which means the repaint I've planned for the last 5 years has been approved by the minister for finance and entertainment. Watch this space.

Well the bloke who bought it off us, before you, was gonna paint it- and never did.
I'd not look a gift horse in the mouth, if SWMBO has given her authority, I'd go for it! :)
You could weld that door up, no need for a new one.

Thanks Doc. I am right though that the collapse is real and would affect the door (not) closing? Paint was on the cards from day one. I know it's a piece of string question but how long do people usually take on a quick re spray. I figure it's windows out, external trim, tanks. Are there any procedural threads on here. I know it's a stupid question but I don't want to under estimate.

Yep , i'd be thinking the same , the door is an easy fix .

One thing you could do is, buy, or borrow a wind up window door off someone and chuck it on until you can organise to get yours fixed properly with out the rush .

On a more important note , i'd be concentrating more on getting your carby fuelling issue sorted out first .

Good calls Col. I've got a mate with a dyno at the Terrace and he's an A series and weber guru.
