Hi all, have owned the van for 3 years and have driven it no where yet..! distracted by other retro beauties along the way but they are a distant memory now so time to get the old girl road worthy again..

When i bought it..

Thanks, not had chance to try the door yet as the van is at work and I'm repairing the panels at home.. not ideal.. it should fit ok as its very close to the original shape n size, luckily the other door has no rust issues..
