That will need a lot more than a door........ The whole structure has been twisted.

We like to call this a "parts car"

Not to be an ass, but I think you were looking at it with blinders on man. :)

Even in that pic, it's obvious that the whole rear is twisted by the separation between the hatch and rear quarter panel and the destroyed door pillar. Not to mention the shattered rear glass, windshield, etc.

Start looking for a rolling chassis and strip anything you can off that donor car, or just wait until one comes along that isn't totaled.

Emmm actually no...I just need to replace that door, about the other little details like the rear panel, etc are not important at this moment, right now I just want the door replaced. :rolleyes:

Nice looking parts car. Your gonna need a rolling body to drop the engine and from that car into,.

No thanx...I prefeer to keep it that way :thumb:

Don't worry...actually the pic makes the damage looks a lot worst, but it ain;t so bad...like I said, I just need to replace the door so I can drive it to my house. :sneaky:
 
Im sorry to tell you, but it's gonna cost way more than that car is worth to fix it. The door looks like it's going to be the least of your problems. Notice the massive gap between the hatch and the fender. Also both the front and rear fenders are ####ed. If you look real close, you can see a crinkle at the top of the pillar. Not to mention the broken windows. On a more positive note, that sunroof is good to go. :thumb:
 
Ehhh....okie dokie. LOL

Just out of curiosity, how do you plan on getting a new door to bolt up to those hinges and come close to closing? Not to mention getting it to track in a straight line, if you plan on driving it. :)

I dont care if I need to close the door with a rope :p that's just temporal, I want to replace the door so I can drive it to my house, that's it.

Ps. the chassis is just fine OMG

Please see the highlighted sections below I started numbewring them to tell you what is wrong with each one but just take careful note of #3, that is where the roof has a HUGE wrinkle in it. This is better off as a parts car, the car will never be right if you *try* to fix it.

Well get some rope then, cause there's no way in hell you're going to get a door to bolt up and close on that frame, or find a reputable body shop that would even attempt it. :)

And that chassis is FAR from "just fine".

Dont worry about that, bro :nono: I have the time and cash to get this baby ready for the streets...but right now I need somebody in USA, more especific McAllen, Hidalgo, Pharr in Texas to replace that door, with the door replaced I'll be able to drive it into MEXICO where I can fix it.

So the question was: Does anyone knows where can I replace the door? :aha:
