Are they good quality if always liked these 2 art doors and way cheaper than buying 2x push button ones

I replaced both my doors with these, and they are good quality replacements.
However, I would order new rubber seals to go between the tops and bottoms, as I over-stretched mine during removal.
You should be able to remove the trim from your old door bottoms as they are only pop riveted on.
Save your glass and get new runners for it. Don't forget to take the window spacers out and fit them on your new doors.

Doesn't the glass & seals come with the kit?
Don't forget that if you like driving with your elbow out of the window then you might find Series type door-tops a bit restrictive as only the rear glass slides. When I had a Series I never used to bolt the door-tops into place and as long as it wasn't raining I would usually lift them out and store in a custom made position in the rear. This changed with the 90/110 alloy door-tops as the glass was angled and both panes slid which gives slightly more flexibility but at the end of the day it was nice to move onto wind-up windows and have the extra elbow room.

I have fitted these to mine - see pic.
I think they are pretty good, I did buy the trim bits for the inside, but in the end, I think the doors look better without them.
My beef is with the windows, they just do not open easily at all - so still that you cannot possibly open them whilst driving, two hands are needed.
I have brought some more runners and will get round to fitting them soon, and see if that changes how easy they are to open.
If you are near Glastonbury, welcome to come and have a look

A better bet, in my opinion, would be to pick up some series doors second hand, looking only at the condition of the door bottoms and buy Rocky Mountain replacement door tops. Also, the tracks are rubber and with addition of a little silicon grease spray, slide with ease.

They were a quite expensive optional extra when I ordered mine, so I used the original glass and spacers with new runners.
However, with the runners, it was a bit of a PITA to cut the rectangular slots for the window lock, as the rubber is a bit difficult to file
