As luck would have it...I was planning on sticking a pair of rosso skinny doors on ebay this weekend!

I've even done the pictures already...they have electric windows but neither have doors cards because I needed the originals for my replacement doors:

Getting it/them to you will be a major pain though!

Hmmm, mine are manuals! Wonder how much work would be needed to convert?

How much you after for them?

The rear window loom just plugs into main loom. So would need loom and switches plus motors

Err..no idea, but it should be easy enough to just swap the mechanical bits and door cards over.

But the switches and motors are still there is you need them....but not the wiring to the loom.

Not wanting much for them at all, would rather they went to a good home before I scrap them (scrapped two widebody doors and regretted it!)...so make me a daft offer if you're interested.

If you can identify the wiring , I might have a pair in a box of Alfa wires and connectors I've got tucked away in the garage.

Wrinx they look good in the pix. Are they good enough to just bung on my car for a few months before paint, or do they have storage scratches or anything that would need touched up?
Could courier them, but a good chance they'd get messed up....

Steve, do you mean you have everything that would be needed wiring and switch wise for a rear electrics upgrade? Just let me know how much you'd be after for that.

I'll check more closely for marks but they're certainly good enough to hang imho.

I think Wrinx meant that the switches and motors were still in the doors, you just need the door cards, and I was offering the connectors that go between the main loom and the doors.

Plus the centre console switch...

That could work out nicely. Getting them up here is another thing though.... No plans for a trip down south soon, and a dedicated one is time and money. Hmmm....

Is my car sure to just need a section of loom added? Relays and other wiring will be in place? Seems too good to be true!

I'm not sure what you've already got...can't imagine relays or fuses will be in place but the wiring might as they just one large mass of taped up wires when installed.

Another thought, you'll need new door cards for the electric version too.

Interesting. Anyone know where would the loom for the rear windows would be likely to go up until? I could have a look to see if its there....

Door cards wouldn't be an issue. Big blanking grommets for covering winder holes are fairly easy to get a hold of.

Loom for the rear windows is hidden behind the B-post plastic trim...if you've got a spare connector that's likely to be the one.

You might also find a spare connector underneath the centre console trim, the one with the fog light switch.

That's got to be worth a look for!

How are these doors for dents?
Any rust round the edges either?
wrinx

Sorry, not had a chance to look properly yet....will try tomorrow, but I don't think there's damage or rust.

Cool, ta. Just let me know!

Managed to get a proper look this evening...typically there's something going on with the OSR rear door!

There's a crack in the paint in the bottom half, about an inch long, perhaps caused by a previous repair...no idea! No rust visible though.

There's also some paint rash which look like a reaction (I say this because they're the same as SZs, which are famous for them!).

Having said that, they still look ok!

If you still want it/them as a temporary measure you're welcome (for free), I won't be putting them on ebay now.

Cheers mate! Will work out what's happening and what's going to be the best option!
