Ek doors, scrap or fix?

Post by kiid61 »

I've gor 4 ek doors that need attn, each have minor rust pin holes on the outside at the bottom ( standard rust ) and a few with rust at the bottom of the door but on the inside. These areas are pretty much rusted out in some spots.. I dont really like the idea of scrapping ek parts anymore because they are getting harder and harder to find in good nic. Should I spend a few weeks trying to fix them or get new ones.

Thoughts people?

Also, where can I get new skins in vic?

Store them if you have (dry) space, or give them to someone that can store them, or fix them, Trev 8) .

Sorry but already got two kidneys, though, they are probably a bit pickled from years of amber bottle abuse :wink: :wink: :wink: .
