poor doors
my g wagon has poor doors on it it has 4 holes on the back door (both bottem corner/ under the rear window and right along the top or the door)
rear passenger (drivers side) door has rotted almost half of the door is gone in the inside
and the rear pasenger door is starting to go along with two holes in the rear quarter pannels some small holes under the front window and some on the grill
should i get new doors or try to fix whats there and where would you advise me to go looking if i need new doors?
thanks
Although anything’s possible they sound pretty far gone to me.
You see people breaking G’s and selling the bits on ebay. Just need patience. There is also a specialist breaker somewhere in Yorkshire I think. A search of this site will find them.
Good luck, sounds like you’re going to need it :)

Dronfields in S Yorkshire and Mercman in Southampton are good for g-wagen parts as are on occasion many of the forum contributors
your chassis should be ok though, I have never seen one in poor shape even the very oldest, the question is always how much do you want to spend, every part is available doors, panels etc but you could spend a considerable amount of money achieving the standard you want.
i will spend as much as it takes to sort her and yeh the chassis is in good order so is the engine both diffs and the transfer box the drive but the diff locks dont work properly when you use them the truck shudders and cant drive round a corner so i got no idea whats wrong there

If you are driving on anything like tarmac the shuddering is normal if you locked the diff’s.
Hi contact "Paul" or Alan Jones on 07779 431009 address 37 Mid Street Sandhaven Rosearty Frazerburgh AB43 7JS.... he breaks G' and should have some "good" doors...trying to repair rust is almost impossible.....
thank you and the judder happins when you lock the diffs on and off road
Most older Gs in poor shape are beyond economic repair. You'd be better off selling her and getting yourself a decent G which go for very little money these days....
if you manage to get replacement doors don't forget the Waxoyl, take the
cards off and use as much as you can get in just keep the drain holes clear. I wish my sons showed an interest in working on cars, might be less for me to do. Good luck
lol thanks man i will see what i can do
