Door Skin

Has anyone replaced a door skin on a fox body?
My 88 has some rust on the bottom of the door but only on the skin the other side and inside the door isnt rusted at all, I plan to fix it in the summer but wanna know if you can just remove the skin on there now and apply a new one?
If anyone has do you have pictures to give my an idea how to?

RE: Door Skin

Sorry Chad it is much too heavy and large
to ship.

I am in a town called Starrucca
About 35 minutes north of Scranton.

You also should be able to check out
some local yards. At least you
get the experience of taking the door off
so you can do yours easilly.
