My original DS door skin was a disaster but the door bottom was good. Then I bought 2 replacement doors at the salvage yard. Why 2 doors? Well, I bought one and then found a nicer one, so now I have 3 doors. I'll attempt to repair the original door, but it will require a new door skin and some serious dent repair requiring removal of the brace inside the door jam area. The blue door in the second set of pictures needs repairs too and I'm not sure which door will be easier to repair. This blue door has a nice skin with only a small dent at the upper convex body line. It will need a lower door skin patch repair and a new inner door bottom. If repairing my truck's original door isn't practical, then I'll use that inner door bottom to patch this blue door.
