Title: Body panel supplier
Post by: CairnsAndrew on July 04, 2010, 05:35:06 AM

Hey,

looking at options to start doing up the disco,

currently looking at reskinning the doors but have hit a snag.

only places ive found stock them are rimmerbros and lrdirect. (genuine parts, RB has it for ?260...... for A DOOR SKIN!!!!)

i know britpart do make them, but cant find a supplier of them.

anyone know where a cheaper supplier is?

(ive found one for ?27.50 on ebay)

I dont know about cheap, but a comprehensive parts list,
including all the little hard to source,seals,clips, bits for locks & a good supplier thats never let me down with quality body panels.

I had to get mine for my Classic from LR. Not cheap but there was no other option, it wasn't worth trying to reuse old doors with marginally less corosion!

Hi

I have 4 very good doors with XS plastic trim still fitted.  This would save you having to re-skin them  Looking for ?20 a door.  Motor is based in Stirling.  Where are you.

my car is a 3 door, are they interchangeable? also do you have the rear door?


tried craddocks and lrdirect, although cheaper than rimmer's they are still looking for at least ?120 a SKIN!

Are disco 1s spares just redic priced, or am i still used to series 3 prices :'(

I'm not sure if they arethe same size.  Can you measure them (front to back and top to bottom), and I'll measure mine tomorrow and let you know.

I still have the rear door and from what I remeber it was ok as well
