    1983 110 Split Doors Worth Saving?

    This poor old 110 was a personal import by somebody years ago, from the UK via South Africa. Unfortunately, it's really rusted out and we're moving, so it's got to go, probably to the tip.

    I can get the doors off, but are they worth saving? I know they're rare, but they're pretty rusty, and the car is way up in Fitzroy Crossing - a long way to freight four heavy doors.

    Afaik these are the same as perentie doors, so they are becoming less rare with every auction.

    The rear doors, tub and roof may be of interest to a Perentie owner wanting to convert their soft top to a four door hard top.

    But as you say.... distance may be the problem.

    Thanks, guys, I hadn't thought of the Perentie connection. I assume you mean just the front doors? Anyway, it's hot as hell up here right now and any outside work is barely worth it, so the whole thing might just go to the tip and be crushed with an excavator bucket. A real shame, but then I'd have a warehouse full of old cars I felt sorry for, if I could manage it.

    I would love to have it.
    Do you deliver? It's cooler down here.

    It should be restored. It's probably one of the oldest 110s around. The chassis number ends in something like 385, (or thereabouts). Oh well.

    What is the deal with the locks on the back doors? Has someone fitted front locks on the rear?

    Can you post up a photo of the compliance plate if it has one? Something that has a build date and model.
    I was involved in a discussion at Glenreagh about 110s with series door handles.

    Good question, don't know, could be factory given what they used to get up to. I'll have to remember to have a look. The silver ones were added later, probably in South Africa.
