Thanks all!

"A rolling stone gathers no moss. "

"That van did a pretty good job on that door. Door are easy to find and thats a common color so it shouldn't be to much trouble.

Not try to be mean but do you really drive it everyday that dirty? "

Thanks for the replies. Indeed luck to have a common color, getting a off color door to "blend in" is a real bit of labor. As for the dirt/moss/general decreped look... Well, long story... I bought this car from a friend 5 years ago, (wow time flies) It was stored in my yard for a year before that. Amazing, it fired right up after just charging the battery. Cleaned it up and started driving it around. Started on the mechanical fixes, new rear axles, driveshaft & center bearing, front ball joints, front calipers & hoses, tranny mount, flex joints, and so on... Then got married had kids, the rest is history. I drive her usually once a week to work and back to keep the mechanicals from suffering from 'rest-rot' (part hi-way part city). Otherwise I've had no time to look after her properly... So the list of tasks slowly grows...
