HELP need drivers door for 2001....

[Kenny]

Ya sorry to hear about that Lisa.
I'm having my driver's side door repaired from hail damage, they were able to get a new metal exterior door panel...(seems those grooves make it too tough to pop the dimples out and bondo it...) Not sure if you're looking for a whole new door, or just the metal exterior... They should be out there... good luck!

Isuzu still has door skins....If you need more than that, more than just the door is torqued. Still, doors should be available....try Merlin, and a different body shop. They will NOT total your car for a door....maybe 1500-1800 in damage...tops. You gotta go like 75% of total value to reach TOTAL , some places go as high as 80%.

Merlin is the place that told me there are NONE available in the US, all I need is the shell, I called Merlin just to be sure the bodyshop was getting the right story....so far $2600 to repair....and I am in a nicer rental that they are covering as well at about 45 a day....I was just more concerned about them totalling it because they could not find a door, everyone that knows me knows how freaked I get about this. I am hurt emotionally...I cried when I dropped her off! Sucks that you can put all that work and love into something and have it taken out of your hands!

Kenny, was it a NEW door exterior or used??? Ironic that the guy that hit me is a Japanese National.....I should have him get me a door!

Sending you good CHI. Glad you're ok! I'll look around.

Oh Lisa!!

I am so sorry to hear such news! I am sure the VX collective will keep their eyes and ears out for replacement parts for your baby. I miss talking to you online.

Just got my VX back from the shop (6 weeks!) not counting the two weeks they had it at first assessing the damage...

Anyways, they didn't get a new door for me. They said I had too many modifications on mine to redo (sound deadening, ensolite, speaker mount.... ) , and probably couldn't find one... But they did one hell of a job on the repair - it's flawless that I can see....

PS: you better be bringing your VX to Moab in 08.- a new paint job excuse won't fly since i'll have one too!
