Swapping a rear door?

I got up close and personal with a bollard recently and it made a right mess of a rear door.

Just the one panel was trashed mercifully, but it would appear to be beyond any reasonable repair...

A straight swap / replacement sourced from a breakers yard sounds like it could be the best way forward and I might event have a go at swapping it myself.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a thread with some tips?

Cheers

I don't know of a thread on it but I changed my NSR door following an 'incident' - albeit on a D3 - without any major issues.

I started by stripping all the parts I wanted from my original door - trim, windows etc - taking copious photos as I went.

I left the original hinges on the body and hung the replacement door before refitting all the trim etc.

The only thing I had to 'tweak' was the striker plate on the body to ensure the door closed cleanly.

I would recommend having a second pair of hands for lifting off / on as they're quite awkward but all in it took me a few hours one afternoon - I work at a leisurely pace with many tea / pee breaks.

For reference I used a Haynes manual.

Try sending a PM to Bigdave (the courier chap) as I dropped a rear door to him many years ago that he was changing...

It felt kinda good providing Forum Courier service to a courier!!!
