djwarner Posted March 9, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Just got a set of blue reproduction 240z door skins from www.roadsterwerx.com. Got them for a great price. According to their site, they were made by the same company that made them for the Nissan remanufacture program. As you can see in the photos the color, textures, chrome strip, and heat sealed seams are identical to the OEM skins. I can' wait to get them installed.

djwarner Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted March 10, 2016 I'm more worried above re-habbing the door panels themselves. I'm going to see Jim Fredricks this weekend, I'll probably pick his brain before going too far with the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djwarner Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share #9 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) My drivers card has a couple of holes for the clasps torn out and some warping in the bottom front corner due to the tension on the old skin. I had been hesitant in re-fitting the old skin lest it look worse due to stretching. I will repair the torn holes with thin sheet metal. If necessary, I'll use steam to relax the warping.

jfa.series1 Posted March 10, 2016 Share #10 Posted March 10, 2016 DJ - consider epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth to repair the door cards. I did that for a couple of clasp holes that were damaged with great results. This can also stiffen the card after you get the warp out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwarner Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share #11 Posted March 10, 2016 Thanks Jim, I'll keep that in mind once I get the card stripped down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwarner Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share #12 Posted March 22, 2016 Ok I've taken the door panels down and peeled the skins back up to the fuzzy strips. How do you get the strips off? There is some wear on the strips so I've ordered replacements. Any hints on installing them or info on replacing the stubby staples around the borders?
