Aiden, you don't think the door is part of the cars structure at all?

Ah not really - if it really was structurally important then your door seals would be ruined after just a few corners as the chassis moved crushing your door into the door frame and ruining the rubber.

The only point that might hold any chassis rigidity would be between the hinge and the lock which is where that crush bar used to be and that's gone now. So.. Why not make a solid pipe bolt up to the hinge point and the door lock if you're worried about rigidity and not have a door, or even perspex in the shape of the door, or just my original thought of a couple of leather straps running cross thatched to stop anything loose in the car falling out on track (if something was to come loose).
