Not seen any , but I do know a chap who works next door to a place that makes fibreglass stuff.... They still there Richard? It was not very fibreglass pongy yesterday.

You couldn't make the whole door from glassfibre, it would still require a steel frame. I suppose you could fit a glass fibre skin to the original door frame, but as that would be largely flat you might as well buy some flat sheets, a pot of resin, some fibre matting and make your own using the original ally panel as a mould to get the shoulder curve right. All you need then is to glue it onto the frame using a suitable epoxy bond.

if you go to

they list abs door skins - thus eliminating the rust/corrosion problem

They come and go! Unfortunately they are not the sort of people who would be interested in a Good Idea. Got a beady eye on their unit though! A glassfibre door sounds like a good idea. I'm sure it could be made rigid enough, but fixing the channels etc could be tricky (i.e expensive). Not sure what insurers would make of them either?

any other units empty near you?. I'm after somewhere for a couple of months to do up a couple of my fleet (got a project in storage too) so that I can sell them and downsize a bit.

You could ring Stuart and ask - he's completely barking but an excellent landlord.

Send a mail and I'll give you his number.

Must be the name.

I'm sorry? £350? I bought my last CAR for less than that, and it came with MOT and 3 months tax
