Yeah, I s'pose.
I have the OG doors which have sat in storage for a while and need seals and the latch mechanism.
I also have a set of '66 11-Window doors given to me by a mate.
They have popouts in them and are on the Panel at present because my it is our family everyday driver; it has a middle and rear seat and 3 childs points across the back.
I meant to change the doors over for the Melburg trip but ran out of time.
Story of my life..... :(
Cheers & God Bless

Always too much to do so little time . more bits doing rear hatch using original inner and door from rear cut combined to make a good door which still needs lots of work and finally got it running and out into daylight under its own power .
Got indicators and tail lights working tonight using samba pre 57 indicator switch , and had to make up strip to fix it to column ( no pics yet) turned out pretty sweet.
