1800 Doors

[LawsonJD]

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

Well that good to know coz I bought them.

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

Derek,
The original poster mentioned that he has an 1800E, the side impact beam was introduced for the 73 1800ES model year only, even then I recall that the internal mechanisms were the same.

They won’t fit you’ll have massive gap,differences also You will be missing the strengthening crash bar from the doors so yeah you could hang em they won’t fit well and will not be strong enough and 💯 won’t be right

Don’t do it fix your doors or replace with E/ES doors

They are not Jensen doors ( 1800 ) they would have a massive v section cut out for easy fitment best doors to work on the doors you have seem more like S doors
