    Default help, i need new doors!!

    hi guys.

    does anyone on here know where i could possibly purchase two new doors from for a 3 door hatchback nova?

    my car is coming along nicely but the doors really give it a bad look. the drivers side door is un repairable while the passenger side may be repairable but i'd rather just replace it.

    does anyone know of anywhere who make brand new nova doors? i'm desperate to get my hands on a pair. white if possible but if not then i can get it sprayed easily.

    please reply if you know, thank you.

    Martin.

    You'll be very very hard pushed to find brand new complete doors, however, you can buy the door skins
    imo, youre best off looking round the local scappy's for some..
    Mint ones go for good money too.

    You might be lucky enough to locate some new genuine ones. try your local dealer & be sat down.

    Ive got a pair of rustless doors in my garage. 1 has a wee dent slap bang in the middle, so it isnt terminal. I could be persuaded to part with them.

    I think I was quoted ?110 for a new door a few years ago from Vaux... that was including trade discount.

    Last time I went to Vaux, the guy behind the parts counted quoted me ?400 just for the door skins, each side! I asked him if that included the rest of the Nova as well

    Think I paid ?170 for my new passenger door from Vaux and that was heavily discounted.

    WOW, why so much then?

    maybe it'll be a few trips to the scrappy to find a decent un rusted door.

    good luck to me on that one.

    thanks for the info though guys. if the worst comes to the worst then i'll go for brand new doors. my car is going to be a minter, dont want no bodge job doors messing it up!!

    Martin.
