Fitting Doors On A Dr30

[DR30RULES]

Hi All,

I have to fit new doors to my Dr30. All my car nut friends say fitting doors in their experiance is a absolute bastard of a job (but none have ever done R30 doors).

Anyone out there have any experiance with fitting doors to DR30?

or is this best done a panel beaters.

Cheers

I've done it with an R31 and same principals should apply.

My recollection, you need one or two pins and their slide on plates to stop the pins from falling out. Don't loose em.

Should be a case of balancing the bottom of the door on a box at the right height and doing the bolts on the hinge of the door/body up with a spanner, then connecting the wires pods up.

If you're doing it by yourself then I reccomend balancing the door on a stable object while in the right position for you to do the hinge bolts up. don't lose the metal slips for the pins either!!!

I think that's what it would be like but I haven't done this to a DR30, only MR30's and R31's of the sedan caliber.

Hope I didn't forget any crucial facts!!! :S

firstly the R30 doors are pin type hinges so as long as you haven't removed the hinges from the body then the doors will go on fine

(do not attemt to put it on your self it is possible but you ar just as likely to put a nice dent or scratch in your car or your nice new door)

get some one to hold the opposit end of the door to the hinge you hold the hinge end and guide it in to the hinge on the chassie get the other person to tilt the door up or down to line the holes up and you bash the pins in if the door dosen't latch properly you might just have to adjust the striker plate abit (the u shaped thing on the pillar that the door latches to)

im a pannel beater so that info is corect
