Hello Does anyone have 2 front doors for sale for a 90? I need to get hold of 2, and Ebay is not being helpful! Thanks Mark 9090 > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Mark > 9090 ..and if Mark gets sorted out I'm looking for two as well (push button type) Cheers Gavin >> Hello >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Cheers > Gavin Good call gavin! Push Button is the way for me 2!! >>> Hello >>> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Push Button is the way for me 2!! Talking of push buttons - #1 son dropped a lump of timber on the n/s rear door handle with entirely predictable results - when the universal door supplier pops by I wonder if s/he could have a ferret around for a replacement :)  SignatureWilliam Tasso 110 V8 >>>> Hello >>>> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >supplier pops by I wonder if s/he could have a ferret around for a >replacement :) aesthetically and functionally, the older lift-type handles are better, mind.

I've seen some adverts for just the bottom part of the door, does anybody have any experience of just fixing the part that rusts so badly? I presume that you need to cut off the rusty section and weld the new door bottom on in it's place. Regards, Dave. > I guess that most of us with an early 90's 90 need new doors. I NEED 2 doors, as the ones on my 90 are as bent as that twat from big brother after it fell into a ditch a few weeks back... :( SignatureMark 9090 - Ditched 87RR V8 - Sorn'd http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ - Firefox Rules! >> I guess that most of us with an early 90's 90 need new doors. > > I NEED 2 doors, as the ones on my 90 are as bent as that twat from big > brother after it fell into a ditch a few weeks back... :( Dunno Mark having seen the pictures if you did put straight ones on the buggers would probably fit worse , hows the rebuild coming on or should we not ask Derek >>> I guess that most of us with an early 90's 90 need new doors. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > not ask > Derek Well there's a story. Elephant's approved repairer classed it as a total loss. I managed to blag a copy of the quote from them. £4500 to get it back on the road, and that was without replacing the bulkhead. They HAVE to use OEM parts - some stupid policy, so a roof was £1000, Doors were £400 each. It soon added up. Anyhow, I told them that I did not agree with the repair costs, and convinced them that I could get a cheaper quote using second hand parts, so its currently at Rogers of Bedford waiting for just that. If it is cheap enough they will authorise the repair of it. If they still don't, ive got 2 options - unless anyone else knows different! Buy it back, for 16% of the settlement value, and get it repaired myself or get someone to repair it, or let it go and run with the money - which i dont really want to do. If i do buy it back, it gets a class D write off tag on it. Does anyone know if this can be removed once its passed an MOT?

I can't imagine that when you come to sell it, the fact that it has been written off in the past should affect things for too many buyers.

Class D you don't have to do owt its not recorded with the VIC scheme http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosa/carlgvowners/vehicleidentitycheck/vehicleidentityche ckscheme.htm#P6_769 negotiate hard with the insurers query the money they are offering then offer to take the cash provided you can get a good deal to buy back the motor- then rebuild it remember tho' HPI will register it as damaged repaired which on muppetry motors may affect the resale value but I doubt a landy buyer would be bothered Derek >> I guess that most of us with an early 90's 90 need new doors. > >I NEED 2 doors, as the ones on my 90 are as bent as that twat from big >brother after it fell into a ditch a few weeks back... :( Once you get your new ones, i'll take the old doors off your hands for a few beer tokens (presuming that they can be beaten straight enough to fit in the holes on my 2A - I'm not after pristine, just something that will fill the holes and flap around less than series doors!) >>> I guess that most of us with an early 90's 90 need new doors. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > to fit in the holes on my 2A - I'm not after pristine, just something > that will fill the holes and flap around less than series doors!)

Just thought, there are some pics here - http://public.fotki.com/marksolesbury/my_land_rovers/bollocks/ Password is bugger if it asks! They are not too bent, just the tops that have slightly taken a beating. Better than no doors at all!
