Post Ami doors and rust.
Hi all. Took the top - all the windowy bit - off the n/s rear door of the Ami today coz the chrome trim @ the bottom of the glass was hanging off and the glass was held in with duct tape. It then looked like the image I hope I have attached. Sorry new to this... Anyway, now wot?! Has anyone tackled this before or is it a new door...? Has anyone got a door they might sell...? :)

Yes indeed; a common Citroen formula but, I belive, one of their best.
The u - channel option did look the only way to save this. I measured it as 15 x 30mm, I think enough to do all 4 doors would be sensible - unless anyone else wants some? And in that nice galvanised sheet...
Unless I find a good door... :lol:

You just woke my dog up by making me laugh. I feel an apology is nessecary...

I graciously accept your apology - any truths I speak which bring light into our drab world must count as success :D
I do like these little yellow fellows they give us to play with.... :mrgreen:
Sorry that one is green...
