Default I need a door skin.

My passenger side door is pretty bad where the door handle is. Does a new door skin just bolt on or does it require welding?

It doesn't look like it is welded but honestly I'm not sure.

Another option that might actusally be easier, but costlier, is buying a complete door shell. They run about $350 but you don't have to go through the hassle of re-skinning a door. I'm going to buy one complete sheel since my driver;s door was crushed...and I'm going back and forth on the passanger door....there's a good amount of rust and it was reskinned but it is seperating so I may go with a shell.

Looks like you definitly need some work....a skin will do it but a shell may be easier...

ill just buy a shell the skin looks too hard for me to do. The shell just goes right on there. How about the rear quarter panels do they bolt on?

NOOOO Quarter panels are a bit of a challenge. I'm doing a complete quarter, but I'm 33, have a 2 car garage devoted to the car and I have some body work experience.

i just have a little bondo along the wheel well thingy. not the inside but the outside part. other than those 2 problems my car did great on the magnet test. The bondo is no big deal for me even though it is undesireable.

You'll find more but it's cool....Once you are in a position to do a restore it'll work out fine!!!
