How to fit replacement doors
Have a 94 Civic LSI Auto, which has been an outstanding car, but after just driving it down a 12ft bank and across a low lying wall, was amazed that the only thing that I need to do is fit a new drivers door. Mechanic could not believe that the car had done what I said it had and rekoned only a Honda could of survived.
I Decided I actually need to replace both doors as theres a bit of rust on the passangers side and to get it all done professionaly including new complete paint job is an extra £800 more than the value of the car.
But we dont want to ditch it (other half likes it to much ) or have £800 to blow on a complete job just like that, so will need to do most work myself to eventually get it all lovely again. Maybe stupid I know but hey at least I can learn whilst I do it.
Anyway I have purchased two replacement doors off the web in the same colour for £100 but what I need is to find is some detailed info on how to remove the doors including windows, panels etc, best I have found on the web is the first stages of fitting some lambo doors and all I can gather from this is the wing must be removed first followed by the door bolts.
Any help, links etc would be apprecitated, I also have to tackle the rear wheel arches before next MOT bit of rust building up here, is this going to be best done by a body work specialist or is there a home user version.
Cheers again in advance
