Yes, I myself have transported large items like that before, but remember, I have a truck and your car is a sporty coupe. Isn't it a 2-door...2-seater? I would at least try, cause it just might fit. Would you happen to have any friends or buddies that own trucks or even vans up there? They could lend you a hand and help you out. I'd be very concerned with the possibility of damage to the car roof. If scraped, you'll just eventually have another rust spot to deal with. Unless you're considering something like this...which would take sometime to build. Please let me know you're thoughts... It's a two door, but it's actually technically a five seater. Here's the back. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RafwBFQD7GpLBNVzt41ZzJp-FReJAnED I think the door would fit in the back. If not though, I'm thinking maybe the guys at the junkyard could help me the get the lock and window out of my door and put the new door on, maybe. I have a friend with an SUV, and two of my uncles have trucks, but I'd rather not borrow one of theirs unless absolutely necessary. As for the roof idea, I was thinking of putting padding down, but yeah, it's probably not the best idea.

MatthewPR Posted February 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Upade: I just measured the door, and it's not looking hopeful for putting the door in the car. Maybe I would do it, but I certainly wouldn't count on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatthewPR Posted February 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I'm thinking it'll have to be put on at the junkyard, either by me or somebody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be the only option. Try to get a hold of them and see if they would be willing to do that for you. You want to make sure your not going to drive over there for nothing. That would be a pain.

Yeah I will, Hopefully they'd be willing to do it for free. If not, I could always offer a cash incentive to convince them. In the meantime, I'm you-tubing videos of window and lock cylinder removal.

If shipping the door was fairly cheap, I'd be open to that, but I'm pretty sure that'd be absurdly expensive.

MatthewPR Posted February 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 1 minute ago, Nate4x4 said: How far is the yard from where you live? About 30-40 minutes. It's almost two hours from where the car would get repaired though. At the minimum, I'd need to get the window and lock out of my old door, and it would be nice to have them put into the new door, but that isn't necessary as I could just have the tech school do it for me. Although, if the yellow was a close enough match, they wouldn't even have to color match it to the rest of the car. If that was so, and I got the lock and window into the new door, that would be all set and I wouldn't have to worry about the door anymore.

Taken the lock and window out of the car door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
