the last one I missed out on (it was run up to xmas and I was pished a fair bit) went for 185 including the heated glass and plastic door card, just needed a wiper motor.....its one of the things I'm permanently hunting for!
Keep up the work I like watching folk transform their new toy!

Agreed re: rear wheel
It's not so much sagging hinges as the door also cracks due to repeated flex. I would get a swing away carrier if I was you.
Vinyl wrapping is interesting, but if it's not a trailer queen why bother what's wrong with the paint already on it? Looks pretty bloody good to me already!
Or do you just not like the colour?
EDIT: just read your thoughts in the paint. Lol

bit of a last minute buy on ebay last night to solve my rotten rear door conundrum, I was going to repair it by welding a new frame section in, but popped up on ebay and was only a few miles from me so i took the plunge. Got tinted rear window too so bit of a bonus
And the reason I wanted this, a rot free door frame!
There was however some oxidisation bubbles appearing on the outer skin, so i thought id crack on and rectify them
Started sanding down
Bit more sanding
put a wee bit of filler in some spots
cleaned up, then etch primer
Its not flawless, but should be perfect for a wrap, although iv ordered the wrap to do the whole car i wont be doing it just yet, but i will wrap this door when it arrives to see how i get on with it
