I had been pleased that so far the X1/9 had been reasonably clean and although not rust-free, at least rust-manageable. So as I am prepping to paint, I decided to take the doors back to bare metal.
SURPRISE! (and not a good one). The lower portion of the drivers door has been patched (?) exceptionally badly. Sure it was smooth, but that is only because 1/4 to 3/8" of body filler. And what looks to be rivets. And yuck!
So, now I will need to look for a replacement drivers door, and at least the passenger door looks to be in better shape.
If you are in possession of a left hand door for an 82 X, and preferably somewhere in the SE USA? Please contact me with cost.
Thank you!
