P2 To P1.5 Door Swaps (for Info)

Recommended Posts

kenp

Just swapped a door from our donor P2 car to our trusty P1.5. Reason being that the door on the P1.5 had been replaced sometime before for a different shade (read faded) of cherry red :) . Donor car was a very good match for ours.

 

Swap went ok - even the hinge pins came out easy :D . Did notice that the hole for the loom in the door was higher on the P2 door than the P1.5 one which means that the loom and gaiter is a bit stretched. I left the loom as slack as I could in the area around the gaiter. Only other difference I found was a small hole in the door near the internal door lock sticky up thing ( :) ) which takes a small trim clip on the P1.5 was missing on the P2. Faced with either removing the door trim again and drilling a hole (had already refitted the handle and door pocket before I noticed) or snipping the clip off..... I chose the later ;)

 

Had to swap the electric window (on the P1.5) into the new door but that presented no probs at all which was nice :)

 

An added bonus of doing this is that after adjusting the new door and striker plate we have found wind noise much reduced :D
