Managed to get hold of a door from the scrappy a couple of weeks back so stripped it down, delocked it and repsrayed it last week.

Yeh the door was a very good find especially for ?15!
Here's the inside:

I would have had the passanger door as it was in very good nick in the scrappies but i think mine is just about salvagable as it only had a few dashes of stripper on it.
The plan is to do it bit by bit, i'd like to have it finished for the shows next year then i'll probably sell it on for something else....
The spraying was done with a compressor :)
Good spray job the door by the looks of it! Should look good once the whole car is done.
Keep up the good work.
