not sure if you guys have seen these pics , well these were the rotton front headlamp mounts out of a spares van i have,


after a bit of measuring and cutting these were knocked up


my van has the single side door , well thats no use to me with a family and the van to be used for weekends away , so llast year i took a set of rear doors and shortened them to fit the side door opening.
before.

the interior of the door


after a bit of cut and shut.

mazda mx 5 door handles grafted in.

 
 side doors held in place , the window appertures are being panelled in to give the appearance of a panel van with factory fitted side doors.

would holden HQ-WB panel van ones be any good, thats what ive seen used in the 1 piece rear doors,
they work great on the rear doors , consealed 2.

although i dont think they would open all the way up then, but might be modafieable.

you guys might need to post a picky of those hinges as they don't have HQ's in UK
So Stumpy has no reference point!
