You're going to replace the door just because a bit of paint came off?

Why not just put some paint on it to stop it from rusting (any paint. It doesn't matter what colour) and then just get the door painted?

the strut brace, only a little 1587cc N/A dog mate. Similar to Martins Orange metro but with less cc's and a bit more power

Glad it was flying I wasn't driving it. It had 3 novice (totally brand new) track day virgins in it all day. I did about 12 laps in it thats all.

No mate as honest as I am sat here drunk.

Its N/A and under 1600cc. Its a little rover lump (bottom end standard) with a Lotus Elise highly worked head plonked on top on throttle boddies. All mated to a Ford Quaife S/C C/R gearbox, with some trick suspension bits. Brakes (on that day) were std RST calipers with 278mm knackered discs

I took it out twice (6 laps each time) and 1st time the silver skyline pulled over on the straight as he feared for his life on the corners I think, and 2nd time caught and passed an Escos (who was trying hard) within 3 laps.

The rest of the day it was driven by complete track virgins

My mates RWD Rover had one of them in for that day and I passed him on the straight like he was stood still too

Its a frighteningly easy car to drive as many have found out

Thanks for the comments

surely it will be cheaper and easier to give the door to a bodyshop
and ask them to sort it
