I have some rust on the lower section of one of my doors ('70 240z).  The body shop said they can fabricate a  piece for it.  But I told them I can get a new lower section of the door (I assume they are made by Tabco). The door also has some minor dents in it and holes for the non factory side mirror.  So it needs a little additional body work done to it.

Instead of buying the entire lower part of the door skin, I have thought about buying an entire door skin instead.  The body shop liked that idea but I have no idea how good they are. Has anyone ever purchased those entire door skins off Ebay?  I think they are the same ones that zcardepot sold but are out of stock. In the Ebay ad, there is no mention of the gauge of the sheet metal, fit, accuracy, etc.

Does anyone have any idea how good of quality they are? 

Thanks

You might want to post a link to the ebay auction/for sale.

Below is the link along with screen shots of the photo and description.  They really dont do a good job of describing it. 😞

Left Side Steel Door Skin For 1970-1978 70-78 Datsun 240z 260z 280z | eBay

 

 

Interesting.. i ask myself as i have the original part.. are the originals also coated in a weld through paint/primer? 

I know that i have one left skin.. original nissan  with the number on it.

Out of my (gigantic) foto records/archives .. i believe these pics are from that left side skin..

I hope you can use these to compare.. as i was looking for these in the files pile for 20 minutes at least pfff... 🤢

Watch careful as the top pic's are from the inside!, next one is outside.. (with the 260z partnumber.)

I am pretty sure that is the same vendor I bought two skins from. I put them on myself and the fit was pretty good.
