Aftermarket fibreglass rear door with one piece glass. Was available new in the 90's, not sure if it's still made.

Cheers,

Hay Caponix "Locky" I saw that at Kelly crt a fair while ago... from memory one of the mechanics said it was rough as guts "the finish on the door that is" It may even be a fiberglass door from memory. Bubble window is very shagan wagan :D
P.S. where did they see it?

I had one of the one-piece fibreglass doors on my 'old' van.
Insert dodgy picture:

I bought mine maybe 5-6 years ago from Northern Mini Parts. . .MASSIVE weight saving over the original doors.
I think it weighed something like 8kg with a perspex window fitted.
It was also excellent for vision - you could actually use the interior rear-view mirror without the view being blocked by the rear door pillars.
