i posted this on mig but not much success so i'll try here
The bottoms of the doors on my nova are starting to show their age now, nothing major yet but there is a little flakey paint in the usual place and its obviously only going to get worse.
Now seeing as i have gone pretty mad with the rebuild on this car and keeping the weight down has been a priority, i was considering replacing the knackered origional doors with a lighter composite version such as grp, carbon or a carbon kevlar mix this will also have the added bonus of not turning into iron oxide too. I allready run 1 piece plastic windows with sliders and would prefer the doors to not have door lock holes but the problem is where to get them from.
I am allready aware of the carbon doors that colin smith (novarally) can supply and have seen a few pictures of the products.
I also was supplied with information from a user on this site about a chappy called Paul Waldren who apparrently makes up a carbon kevlar door does any body have any contact details or gen on this fella? This is the person who i really want to speak to most but no body seems to have heard of him..
Finally is anybody aware of differant companies/persons who can make up or supply lightweight doors?
thanks for any replies
