Re: Door Question

They're not bad until you strip out the impact screws holding the hinges in

Make SURE you keep adequate pressure on them. They look like regular philips head screws, but they're fine thread and you need to use an impact driver on them. The door handle mechanism can be tricky too. Disconnect the linkage rod at the latch, not the handle. Pull the rod out attached to the handle, it will save you a headache. The vent window/track can be a bit of a pain too, but just fool around with it until it comes out. There's definitely a science to putting it back in the right way though, if you install the glass first. Other than that, the doors are pretty straightforward. I had to do the same thing when I swapped to aftermarket doors on my K20 (which, by the way, I will never do again; they're not even close to correct in any manner).
