Hi ya'all

I am looking for 2 doors for my romahome, the front van doors, it is 1989 C15 Citreon Model. Mine are a bit rough with rust etc, wear and tear. Does anyone know of any, or can give any sort of advice. Thanking you for your time. ;D

what about your local scrap yard, (sorry if you have thought of this already) will the normal citreon van doors fit..... ?

Yes C15 van doors are the same

But finding good ones in a breakers is like trying to find rocking horse ---t

And the motor factors I have tried only do the outer skins, which is no good if the inner is rusted too.

Have you thought of replacing them with new? You can get replacement door skins for under £25 each. Try Yellow Pages or Google for 'motor panels'. Here are a couple of examples:

tinyurl.com/46u64a
tinyurl.com/3j56xr

. . . . but you can probably find them somewhere local to you and then you'd save on delivery.

You'll have to spray them, but that's dead easy with an aerosol. Spray before you fit it and there's no need for any masking.

The biggest job is installing your existing windows, door handles & locks etc.

I did my bonnet using this type of panel. The C15 has that stupid bit of plastic trim at the front which is nothing but a rust-trap. Vans over a certain age are guaranteed to have a rusted bonnet but it's not expensive to replace it with good sound one.

A new door from Citroen is priced at £280 inc. vat.

It is just the door shell so it has to be fitted out with the old window, winder, trim etc. and painted.

So a breakers is the only realistic option, a skin is no use if the inside of the door has gone, you have nothing to weld it to.
