Mk 1 or Oz Doors - Any External Hinge Doors - Richie Rich - 09-06-2015

Hi Guys and Gals

I am busy building a mini pickup and am looking for a decent set of external hinged doors.

Please contact me if you have, can get, or know of someone hiding them away.

It will be much appreciated

Thanks

Rich

Guys, please all dont offer at once!

It makes it harder for me to choose!

Rich, you can still have the doors off that shell I bought from Trinesh , although there is a bit of a dent in the driver's one (It should just pop out though from the looks of it. I'll take a pic or two if you'd like.

Dumb question, can I fit these to a Mk3 with internal hinges ? I guess you cannot use both at the same time.... Angel

Thats a good question, suppose as you said, its one or the other. Plus on the mk1 the A panel is a double skin, and also has support for the hinges inside the wheel arch.
Hi Colin, that would be great.
You can mail them to me at

I saw a build on the UK forum where the guy fitted external hinges to his Mk4 Mini. He even fitted the early locking mechanism. Will see if Ican find the thread and post a link.

Unfortunately mk1 doors will not fit a later mk door aperture. Mk1 doors are smaller and a different shape however you can get the dummy external hinges from Japan to make your mini appear to be of an earlier model.

This is the car I was talking about - Mk4 with external hinges fitted to replace the internal ones, Mk1 door mechanism and some sliding windows :

Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread . . .

No problem at all. That guy obviously really wanted a MK1, he even bought the Mk1 light panel and changed to Mk1 rear lights .
Thanks for sharing.

Really nice looking car.
Rich, I was going through some of my stuff from when I was planning my Panelvan rebuild and found the details of a guy that had 3 or 4 sets of mk1 doors and all the spares you could need for the aussie doors. I'll WhatsApp you his numbers, it's been about 5 years since I last spoke to him but you might get lucky and he's local to the Pinetown area as well.
