I hope this is the correct section to post this topic, but both of my doors on my EG have damage. I am trying to figure out what would the best thing to do ...

-Get used EG doors ? or get bodywork done to both doors?

Here are pics of damage ...

Driver's side door (got hit in a parking lot)



Passenger side door

 

Call around and see if you can just get a used pair of doors cheap. That's going to be a decent amount of work getting those areas 100% straight again.

The doors are fixable, just really prob. not worth the time.

Good luck

 

reskin your doors.... getr the new sheet metal that goes on the outside of the door... take yours off and weld the new skins on.. its time consuming but will yield a better result

 

Do you know best place to buy door skins ?

 

pick up a pair of door, door skins are expensive.

 

Thanks for the replies I guess I'll start looking for some used doors!

 

i would replace, whether it be with skins or new doors

because it will be such a pain in the *** to get that bondo smoothed out to where you wont see the "wave" in it. and you wont be happy after all the work

This is especially true of black or dark colored cars.

This is absolutely something that can be repaired by a decent body man, with not too much time either. How much you will pay I dont know but I know its not going to be cheap to have someone re-skin your doors either.

 

did someone put that bondo on with a ******* spoon?

 

like ronny g said, this is repaireable, im a bodyman, and this really isnt bad at all to some things i've repaired, that shouldve been replaced...like a dodge bed corner crushed in completely opposite of what it should be....repaired and its completely into specs...go to a shop and get a price comparison between reskining the doors, and repairing the existing damage...

and kidcarbuff....you dont weld on door skins btw..
