Both front doors are done! What a drama to get the drivers one good enough to use.

First the bad news- with all the handles, factory door catch, lexan windows, mirror, steel brackets to mate to factory hinge, bog, paint etc the door comes to 9.9kg. To compare the door that came off my car (so stripped down bare but still with side intrusion and window mech with lexan window) weighed 29.9kg. That is still a saving of 20kg.

The passenger door that had no window mech or side intrusion weighed 22kg.

The good news is they open and shut using the factory hinge and hardware, and shut firm enough against the body seals that they might survive life on the track. (only testing will tell, LOL)

Pictures will follow. Seems to be an issue uploading at the moment (have waited 20 minutes but computer still says it is "waiting for soarercentral")
