Default Home made cabriolet door???

as doors for mk4 escort cabriolets are quite hard to find, is it possible to make one yourself from a door off a 3 dr escort?to me it looks like if you cut the frame in exactly the right place and use the rubbers and glass from my existing cabriolet door then there is no difference, considering that before all mk3-4 cabriolets existed the started out as 2 dr estate shells and were sent to Karmaan to be converted, this must mean that is what Karmaan did to the doors.
Has any1 ever tried this???
am i talkin nonsense or can it be done???

i think as long as i cut it in exactly the right place it would work, would be much easier 2 find a door off a 3dr than a cabby
