Being that this is a restoration not just a conversion, i swapped my dented drivers door today and fitted the one i bought off the loonster!
Looks HEAPS better, but pics coming...
goog.
glad to see the mk 2 is still getting the love. I'd hate to see you buy too many mk 1's & not have any dosh left for this baby! :D
As promised... The only issue I had was getting the doorlock/central locking rods off the little plastic clip when removing the latch from the door.
I tried to pull the whole latch mech and white plactic clip, with the rods attached, thru the small gap in the door and busted the two brittle tabs:duh:

AFTER i'd got it all out, it was only then of course that i realised the clip just slides off!

Luckily I had a spare from the grey beast this thread was started for!!:idea:

I wont bother posting pics of the finished product as y'all know what a mk2 normally looks like!
Ain't that always the way... :duh:Quote:

That door has been from the UK to sydders and now Perth :)
Yea the door looks identical in colour it just needs a clay bar and polish.
The little plugs in the door that hold the clips of the mk2 door trims were mostly perished, so i pinched some of the pretty green ones from a golf 3 and they worked fine.
When i clean up the car I'll put up some before and after shots.
Heya. Just a quick post in case some of you find this useful.
Changed the broken front left door handle today including the lock swap.
Here's the busted bit above my thumb:

Dont try and push the little lock buttons in and slide the barrel in with a screwdriver like this! It will result in explosive swearing attacks, and possible tool/lock breakage:

Just put the key in to pull the tabs down..
