Raizer Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 That only applies to later model van doors though.Up to about 77-78 they had the same hinges as mk1 2 door, after that they have the bolt on mk2 type hinge like you have used.

They do differ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 I had a 78 or 79 door on my 77, but couldn't use the doors off my 80 parts van. Think it changed sometime in 79, I seem to remember having a 79 estate parts car with the later doors too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 just going to be a race car, or are you going to make it street legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendlives Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 At the moment it's going to be race only, but I am making allowances in the build to make it road legal when I can afford all the compliance costs! Ref the doors, what's been said here is probably right, it's the first experience I've had of fitting van doors to a 2-door so just reported my findings. I've had it sat on it's wheels and I'm happy with the way it sits, but you'll have to wait and see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
