Title: door skin transplant. Post by: Glen on May 25, 2016, 09:00:06 PM Greetings fellow FC FE lovers. I have just purchased another FC to restore and have 4 doors with very solid frames with rust along the bottom of the outer skin. I have an opportunity to buy another set of 4 that are heavily corroded around the window frames however the skins themselves are rust free and very straight. I intend to sacrifice the frames on these and unpick and bend back the lip around the edge of the skin and fit them to the doors with good frames. I would appreciate advice from anyone who has attemped this procedure. I realize it may be a tedious way to end up with rust free doors, we're doing it for fun right? I'll be starting a thread in project cars as soon as I remember how to post pictures.
