Guest derrick Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 hi everyone heres one i hope someone can answer my doors on my mk5 cabbie are totally dented all over but they dont have any rust on them i was thinking of just skimming them with body filler or re skinning them but ive been on to a few people but they are asking too much for new door skins and the second hand doors ive come across are all to far away for me to travel for them and the sellers wont post them to me i was thinking of getting hold of a two door escort with decent doors and cutting them down but im not sure if they would fit or even be the right shape as i think the cabbies door are different from tintops any help and advice greatly appreciated as usual.

gingergman Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 ive heard of cutting tin top doors before, but i know on the mk4 the windows are diffrent so it wouldnt work. dunno what the mk5 are like tho. not suprised you cant get a good pair easy, but if you do find some decent ones its worth travling for, i travled miles to get a good door for my mk4, trouble is theres hardly any old escorts about mk3 4 and 5 so if you want the parts then you gotta travel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
