1800 Doors

Hi.
Anyone know if the early car hockey stick trim doors will fit an 1800E?
Just the actual door frame I'm thinking about, if I reskin them and swap all the mechanisms over?
Thanks.
David.

It depends on how early the door is. If it is from a sub 10,000 chassis number then no. The frames are too thick for the later bodyshell. You can tell the difference between the two. The sub 10,000 chassis doors have a large hole where the window winder mechanism goes. What does your look like?

If the ones you have are sub 10000 chassis and no use to you, I know someone who is looking for two

I think the later doors have a side impact safety bar across them. That might mean the internal mechanisms are different?
