The Suicide Doors

Original B Pillar removed and then
replaced with a B pillar from a 4 door sedan. LH pillar placed on the RH side and visa versa to get the hinges to work
Semaphore section removed and section smoothed out
|
 
 |
Cabin back welded to replaced B pillar |
  |
To make the doors work I used about
60mm
of the rear doors from a 4 door sedan, and most of the original doors from the Ute. Both sections were set up using the hinges, trimmed to fit then removed from the car and welded together A section of flat steel has been welded to the bottom of the door for a smooth look. |
 |
The quarter vent window has been moved
forward about 80mm to give a better profile to the door.
Electric windows have also been fitted. |
 |
The front edge of the doors had the
indents of the original hinges so cover plates were made and welded in.
The door catch has been set up with the lock mechanism in the A Pillar and just the locating pin in the door |
 |
Door Handle removed and a section from a rear door welded into place |
 
  |
Bear catches placed in the A
pillar
