Had a little accident tonight, need a brilliant black, drivers side door from a 90-97 for the LE. Don't know if someone can knock that back out with PDR. Not sure if it matters it's power or non power window etc. PM me if you know a good source and approx how much $. Might also consider a non black one and repaint.

Thanks,

And I just gave away a red one last week.
RJ...
A replacement door will not have the correct VIN stickers, which could be a turn of to a potential buyer. :(
I'd check with a PDR guy, we have Steve over here in the mid cities who has done some meticulous work for several of us!
I thought about the vin thing but its so faded you can hardly tell. It may be fixable as the paint is ok. If i could find a replacement bolt on door that would be the easiest i think.
Backed into something with the door open? Sorry for the accident, but I'll be amazed if PDR can fix that. I'll keep a look out. Good luck.
Sorry to see this, good luck finding a door.
Yeah, was pulling the miata out of the garage to re-bleed the clutch on the s2k and it rolled a bit faster than I was expecting. Door caught the garage door frame. I sent some pics to my PDR guy to see if he can do it. Otherwise I just want to find a replacement soon (and locally)
My former roommate was pushing his POS Accent out of the garage with the door open (his reverse was out) and he hit a post... bent the door forward. So he bent it back and proceeded to try to re-bend the door frame with a hammer so it would close, breaking the back window out on the process.

Sorry to hear about your LE. Here's a post from CL parting out a 1990 silverQuote:

Got a red driver's door and a white driver's door. The red door would be good for a spec. White one is in really good condition.
Call mazda heaven, they have a few black cars sitting out there, not sure if they still have the driverside doors...its been awhile since i was out there
Where are they located? And Johnwag, I may be interested in one of yours provided I can't find a black one soon.Quote:

Not too difficult and the window regulator doesn't matter. The difficult part might be the quarter window. I've never removed one but I've hear they are difficult to remove.Quote:

I'll give myself a few days to find a black one and if I have no luck I'll pick one up from someone here and have it repainted. Any help moving the stuff over would be much appreciated and compensated.
Another option for you... My donor has power windows. I wanted to sell the door and keep the power window stuff, but if we did a door swap plus cash, I could keep the power window stuff out of your door, remove at my leisure, and throw away the rest. You would just have to deal with paint... all glass and power window stuff would already be there. Only ? is the condition of my door. I have not looked closely for door dings, etc. If you are interested, I can take a look at the condition of the door this weekend.
That may feasible, I also need to find a source that can repaint a door for a reasonable amount. I'd like to get out of this whole thing for $200 or less total.Quote:

I may be able to help depending on when you plan on doing it.
You are welcome to stop by my house and we can see if we can get it fixed up for you. I am in Carrollton as well
It isn't Carrollton, but I'm about a mile away from Magma. ;)Quote:

Door alone=$100
Complete door= $230, but direct swap (except speakers and LE door panel etc). I can then sell the power window equipment out of mine for ?? to recoup some cost.
$230 for everything is high. It is the more simple way, but the convenience is not worth $130, IMO.Quote:

I will call a friend with a truck and try and take off thursday or friday to go grab a door (hopefully they have one in good shape). Anyone want to shoot for saturday in Carrollton at my tiny apt garage or anyone else that wants to volunteer their place?Quote:

You welcome to use my garage if you need, there are tools there and even a little knowledge.
Sat is fine for me
That is actually very easy to do. The hardest part is running the wiring.Quote:

I really hate driving around with a ghetto door. I already sold the other vehicle so I'm trying to drive it minimally while we're waiting on paperwork etc. Hopefully between 3-4 of us we can get it done on Saturday.Quote:

Ted the Red said he has a black door shell and can help me swap everything over so it looks like I may be heading his way on Saturday to do this.
