sidehinged rear-door for R4-F4 fourgonette

[reidalpine]

since I draw a blank at Loheac I am still looking for a complete rear-door for Roffen the F4.

Doesn't matter if it's R or L-hand hinged as it is to be used
in my trailer-project,but nice(st) if it is complete with glass
Most important..I would like one with as little rust as poss.
and also without dings and dents...
-Live in Norway,so the closest to home would be preferable
(You hear that Norway/Sweden??)
Any/All offers will be considered though!

Thanx Much/-R.

Thanx much for info Paul! looks as it has lots of rust on it-but might only be surface,so might be good... Now if only it had been for one of those Korean cars you could have rolled it up and sent it
in a cardboard tube! -R.

How are you getting on with your F4 trailer project?

I saw this and thought of you and your F4 trailer project. How are you getting on?

HI JJAD! -Haven't had any offers for a rear-door yet,so might go for fabricating something-had hoped to use a rear-door to get the correct
profile along the waist..and also get the rear-glass 'for free'
Tried a rear-hatch from a 'normal'4L but it is very different from the one on the F4..
Have cut both frame and body lifted body off frame and cleaned all
also have ripped off all bits & pieces that I won't use.
Am desperate to use the orig.frame to get same superb riding-characteristics as on car.
As there is a big hole at rear of both sideframes,I have bought two new ones that is exactly the lenght I need so I might go for these instead of welding and patching up the old ones.
Bought a solid rubber-roller thingy(Diam.70mm.)that I have cut in 10mm.thick pieces to use as spacers put between frame and body to get some air in there to hopefully help keep rust at bay.
Hope to have my project on the road come spring! -R.
