Fibreglass Defender doors are now available from the UK, also available for Series Land Rovers.
I'd like to see someone take a sheet of 4mm aluminium and press a complete door, then use aluminium U channel to form the "frame" for everything to bolt onto. But the Fibreglass option looks pretty good.

£500 per door????!!!! :eek::eek::eek:Quote:

About 6 months ago I used Lanotec down the A and B pillars, in the bolt holes around the windscreen (fake) hinge, and in the rubber plugs near then wind screen wipers.Quote:

Lanotec doesn't set, it just stays sticky and gradually fades away. You will have to reapply it, every 12 - 18 months. I don't use a lot of energy cleaning my Defender (1995 model). After every trip it gets every hole and crevice thoroughly hosed out until only clear water runs, a drive around the block to dry out and every 18 months or so I drown every hole, crevice, crack, joint, join and the whole firewall (inside and out) with up to 2 litres of lanotec. It lives outside and is allergic to soap and polish. There is not the slightest hint of rust anywhere on the vehicle.Quote:

AFAIK, the doors will bolt straight up - you may have to change the door strikers though.Quote:
