| I've just received an OEM lower door repair panel, that fits below the trim line. Still got evidence of the parts sticker on it.
A pretty rare piece.
The one I have is for the right hand door, (UK driver's side).
For the time being I've repaired the bottom of my door, but intend perhaps next winter, to have this panel fitted.
It's crossed my mind that my local welder chappie, could fabricate more of them using this one as a template.
He could hopefully also fabricate the one for the left door, allowing for the opposite taper of the horizontal bottom panel on the left door.
One question I do have. This panel seems to have a curve on it, ie it's not straight, when you look along the bottom edge.
Any thoughts on this?
My door bottoms appear to be straight, though that could be due to much, past, bodgery!!
I would not at this point have any idea what it would cost to have one of these panels re-made, I'm just interested to know if anyone out there would be interested?
