Had no luck on ebay in finding a decent drivers door for my 3dr GTI, :cry:
Just contacted a local Volkswagon specialist,
He has 1 there but wants 100 quid an says its really good, :shocked:
Is this about the going rate then
-
what's it come with and what's the condition??
I would expect it to be near perfect for that figure... But as you say they are getting hard to find...
-
I dont know what it comes with,
I got everything 2 go with it anyway,
He said theres no rust at all on it,,

If it's a full door with all the parts on it you "Could offset" the cost by selling the other parts!!
Rust isn't just the issue what about dints/dents???
-
I havnt seen it yet, Only spoke 2 bloke on the fone
They all mint over the fone though arent they :wink:
-
Could not replace my sills so my paint guy got an old door cut the pannel out and welded it up can that not be done to another door using the good skin off a bad door?

YEAH!! Aren't they just... I bought one from a scrapper in Wigan once and it was total c3ap when it arrived -
Told me it was mint - covered in rust!!
-
So long as the Door shell has zero rust, hadn't been butchered and repaired around the door handle. and was not full of filler, then I'd be happy to pay £100 for a good door, iirc these things were well over £250 brand new back in the day... I think the days of a £30 door are few and far between!
And, I'll eat my hat if its a mint door! :lipsrsealed:

Are you talking about the VW specialist just off J2 M5?
If yes, i asked about a mk2 bonnet about 6 months ago, he wanted £70 :cry: and they wasnt the best
Found them: http://volksmagic.sik2k.com/about.php

Yeah thats the one mate,,
I have foned that guy breaking that car and his door seems ok,
Just the 1 thing though , where the side strip is that has been smoothed and no holes 2 connect strip,
Can the strips be bonded on,
-
They have shed loads of stuff for all VW but i thought expensive compared to ebay stuff :wink:
I spotted a bonnet i wanted on a mk2 parked infont of the yard i thought they would be stripping, when i asked about it, it was a customers car LOL, same colour as mine too, i would have paid £70 for that one but the stuff on the racking the guy showed me didnt look so good :undecided:
-
I been up there a few times, an he desnt wanna give ya much help or anythin

I would give that door a miss!, unless its just had filler smeared over the holes... which I doubt!
If its been welded, expect a door like a dogs hind leg!

I thought that too...
I have one on a car that may suit you - depends if your prepared to collect it from Sheffield or not??
Happy to send you loads of pics so you make an informed choice before driving up...& I'm not looking for £100.00 for it either...
-
^^ Settle for £99 ? :grin: :grin:
-

Piss take... :angry:
No more than £50.00....
You gonna pay for your Mats???
-
Yeah he said its been welded up,
Not worth it then you reckon

Its up to you! but I can tell you that if someone bought me a door with the holes welded up, I wouldn't be impressed!
From your body guys point of view, it would mean even more unnecessary work... I would want a customer to bring me a fully stripped out, unmolested rot free door shell, the odd dent would be fully acceptable, as well as expected...
Good job he priced it high! if it was any less, you might not have called it into question, and ended up with a pup!

Jeez, I bought a complete door last year with glass, mirror, everything, just because I wanted the window regulator. I paid a tenner for it. It was mint too.
-
No local lads breaking them? Bought myself a drivers door from just down the road for £10, only thing missing was the mirror..
Anything upwards of £30 seems crazy? :huh:
-
well i just picked 1 up 80 quid, Its all straight and no rust,
So i guess i had 2 have it , cause i need it right now,
-
I looked for months looking for a decent black 3 passenger door even travelled for a so called mint one that turned out to be a dog :( so in the end i just had mine repaired and painted least i know its minto,s now :)

A scrappy saying a door is Mint = an average condition door. I was looking for a pair of wings for my mk1 Caddy because mine were really shoddy. Phoned up a scrappy and the bloke said, yeah, I got a pair of really good mk1 wings. When I turned up the left ring was completely rotten at the bottom, worse than what was on the caddy. And the other wing, well it was also a left wing which had a buggered arch and dents at the front. Still baffles me why he would think I would pay £70 for two s*** left hand wings.
There is always someone on ebay breaking a mk2, usually not that far away.

Recently tried to source a decent second hand rear door to no avail. So bought an OE one from VW Heritage for 425 squid - insurance claim so not worried about price. Nice!
