i like em. i wish i had an old truck i can chop on.. but i currently only have one. so how do you open the door? as in unlatch it?
|
so you cut up some clean doors for some ghetto half doors awesome
|
you should have cut your original doors, and saved the ones you just bought. but either way, looks good.
|
Looks good. Personally I wouldve cept the window frame for a cleaner finish, but otherwise good stuff.
I hope I find find a set of nice(ish) 3rd gen doors to hack up. |
yeah thats what i was thinking to is keeping the frame there for a real clean look but i though of that after i made the first cut and by then it was to late
like i said though there clean other then one rust spot on the a pillar but they where really cheap and i was going to use them for my truck and cut up my doors but thats way to much work removing the non power stuff and putting in all my power stuff as i have power windows and locks but mah and as for the door opening oh yeah i kept real clean and didnt put the handle on it i just dont like the way it looks that way heres some more pictures of the doors the door open when you push on this lever kinda funny but it works with out the big handle on the top i wanted it clean so this is the way i made mine and boy the metal on these doors are thin!!!!!!! wow this up load is taking forrrrrreeeeevvvvvvvvvveeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ok its stuck on 71% so ill post the other pictures whenever its done guys |
ok so i redid it heres the latch thingy
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/IMG_0777.jpg heres the back side of the door http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/IMG_0778.jpg heres the door open http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/IMG_0787.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/IMG_0788.jpg |

You gotta keep an eye on those things, they have a mind of their own. |
Ya they do look what mine did.
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...r/P2270011.jpg I parked my 4runner out in the garage and forgot the sazall was left plugged in this is what i came out in the morning to. |
So you reach your finger into the door, to push the "latch thingy"?
|
the half doors look pretty good, I guess. Just gotta throw some paint on them to cover up the booger-welds. What seats are in the truck? They dont look stock...
|
yeah i just got a grinder from work so there all smooth now and im going to throw a lil bondo on them for even better smoothness and im still putting the door panels on them and cutting them so they fold over the top part and yes you put your finger into the hole and it goes pop on the latch thingy lol but hey its my first time doing this so i think they look really good
|
dude im sry, but you are the man, and hell yea money well spent.
|
Functional and cheap... looks good to me. :guitar:

Yota Tech Poster boy You kick ass man. Seriously.... great mod, $20 very well spent. My boss once told me "sometimes, you just gotta use a little brute force and ignorance". |
I perfer to cut the doors with an angle grinder. There's a lot less fibration than using a saws all.
