well I'd say seeing as they've got glass and been treated they sound like a bargain to me not that I've had the need to purchase them at all .

Im more after the advise on fitting my doors without guttering attached to the car, ive got no idea of the price of things as my traveller couldnt move from our courtyard as I lost the keys a few weeks ago and will need to change all locks and maybe doors!!! I have little chance of getting to a fair or Morris event without a starting car!! Im saving for the sides and top wooden door rail for the back to be purchased from woodies.... but not for a while..

I would wait till you get the rest of the wood sorted out. I doubt you will need to change the locks.... Just try some keys till you get one that works!

How bad are the rear doors you have on now ,will they last till you get the rest of the wood. To fit the doors to the car now may involve planing down the sides of the doors to fit, then when you come to fit to new wood sides they may have the wrong profile to the new sides.
