Hi Adam,

Where are said doors for sale?

Might be interesting...

I’d be more concerned with what metal was used and how quick corrosion will take hold. (My money is on it being quite sooner)

saw them on Marketplace, price seemed very good so I asked what brand and the guy said they are out of China. They aren't gal, just painted steel.

Can't be much worse than a 1980's Alfa.

70s FIAT/Lancias might give them a run.

hard to see how they can be worse than the land rover idea of putting steel and aluminum together. If they last 5yrs before the rust starts it will still beat the factory ones.

*For a good quality long lasting door in a range of different materials try SP in the U.K who manufacture Defender doors. Parts & Accessories To Fit Land Rover Defender & Series - In Stock & Next Day Delivery
