the drivers side door was marginally better, there are photos on a different thread if you search under my name then look at all my posts youll see
them...recently. at this point not sure if rust is better or worse than the panel beating, the right side panels had no rust, just panel beating,
rust has been in the normal spots really with a few surprises....got to keep it interesting!!

i did find a door locally but when the panel beater looked at it he reckoned after you added in the price of the door and what still needed to be done
with it i was better of keeping the original door...the doors changed after 72 and pre 68, to the best of my understanding so...yes it is difficult to
find them, atleast around here...and i guess you would have to expect to do work on any door that is 30 odd years old...

@ least it wasn't 30 to 50cm...
the only difference between this and a 23 window is a bit more light gets into them.
Oh yeah and these go round corners without falling over!
Mate it is gunna be a masterpiece when you are done...and for less than the price of a new falcon or similar and I mean similar.
