Door fabrication Australia?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, recently a bit of rust in my doors made me realise I need to take care of it now and forever so i can just forget about it and move on with the rest of the car. So at the moment my priority is fixing up my door skins.

It's quite unusual on my Z the inner skins are stuffed but the outer skins are actally not all bad.

I'm looking into a few options but i know a few members here in Australia make replacement sections or know who's good and who isn't.

So if anyone can post some links to places or give some details on where i can either find a really good set of second hand <b>240z</b> doors or fabricated panels.

Thanks heaps.

Gav,

One place for replacement door skins is Rare Spares

https://rsp-secure.com/shop/?fromrsp=yes.

I don't know what the fit is like, but it may be an option.

Another place, although in the US, is Tabco http://www.tabcobodyparts.com/

they make a range of replacement panels for the Z including a lower repair section for the door.

Thanks for that I've heard the Rare Spares doors arn't the best fit and the doors are pretty thin guaged compared with standard :(.

I know all Z parts make some door skins but my problem is i need the inner doors more than the actual skins.

Its doubtful that the inner frame part of the door, or part of it, would be available new. If its rusted at the bottom I'd look at shaping a suitable piece of flat panel steel and welding it in. If it requires much more repair than that then s/h doors would be the go.

Yeah I've taken a closer look and although they are bad in places I think the best bet would be to repair the existing doors. At least they seem to fit well and would be the correct guage steel etc.

I'm gonna get in contact with Warren at Zworx here in Melbourne I believe Rob who used to own the place and has had experience for years now would be the best and safest bet. I'll keep you guys posted on what happens either way :)
