Remember rear door skins are ally(birmabright) so you could easily get round that with some fibreglass and epoxy.

I dont want to buy anything
What i was thinking, ill remove the window frame, chop the whole door to the right width to match the roof cut, plate up the opening i leave, cut the window frame to same width and somehow get it back in the door,weld a peice of plate into the glass hole.
Then weld the whole thing to the b pillar and wherever else theres steel.
If that makes sense

Add in delivery and VAT
Would make more sense to buy the whole kit at that point.
Im trying not to spend a lot on it tbh,
It might not look factory, but its only going to be a spare work truck so i dont ruin the 110 (i realise how silly that sounds lol)

Im thinking a peice of 2mm with some reinforcing box section welded on.
I know a flat peice of steel isnt going to look amazing but itll work
then box in the sides against the b pillar. Ive not worked it all out yet though, i need to have a proper think

Get in, I too am waiting for better weather.
You got a sketch up of what the back end is going to look like or you keeping it a surprise?
