Hello, New to E30s...Questions

Well this is going to sound silly but has anybody ever attemped to convert a hard top door to a convertible door? My 325i I acquired needs a passenger door (among other things...) and I was given a good hard top door (a friend had a spare). I only breifly compared the two doors and aside from measuring its dimensions, looks like I just cut the window frame off and cut a slit on the end of the door for some rubber little thingy. I guess I could just cut off the shell and put it on my damaged door. I just dont have a welder to put it back on. Over all the car is in good shape. The previous owner decided to park in a ditch(drunk) and messed up the passenger side. And I had a Big non running 4X4 I needed to get rid of. So we just traided out our problems.

They are very different the glass that's in there is larger. I'm imaging it could be possable, a lot of delicate work.

I would say that it is more cost effective to buy the door, than to try and modify the one you have.

If you look in the right place you will find stacks of doors just waiting for some restoration and a new home.
