I hit a rock and put a nice hole in one. Not very appleasing to the eye!   Drew Porta (Ncrover) Member Username: Ncrover Post Number: 41 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 11:53 am:    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33642&item=242 5747535 I think this is what you are looking for...

The auction is for a right front skin. I need the right rear door. Thanks for the info. Hopefully they will be able to help me out.   Drew Porta (Ncrover) Member Username: Ncrover Post Number: 42 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 11:30 pm:    Yes, they should have the other doors and door skins as well. Since you'll have to paint the new door skin and pay the associated labor to remove/replace the door skin, you might consider just trying to locate an entire door SHELL (i.e., no door panel, window glass, regulator/motor door locks, etc.) from a salvage yard. If you are really lucky, you might be able to track down a door shell with the same paint code as your Disco and then just spend a weekend afternoon swapping all of your door components to the new (well, make that "less damaged") door shell and save some money in the process. I did this once on a car with non-electric windows and ended up saving alot of money. If you have electric windows, it might make the task a little more difficult and would require you to have a Land Rover Workshop Manual. At a minimum you'll need the appropriate tools and some help (to hold the door while you bolt it to the D1).   Dave_lucas (Dave_lucas) Senior Member Username: Dave_lucas Post Number: 398 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 11:50 pm:    Rovers land has advertised door shells before, I would give them a call and see if they have a shell   Ron Johnson (Chauner) New Member Username: Chauner Post Number: 35 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Monday, August 04, 2003 - 02:45 pm:    If you have any knowledge and experience with interior door parts, regardless of the make of vehicle, you don't "have" to have a shop manual. Practically all doors are assembled the same way.
