My sister drives our minivan, so she can't really damage our W126's as she doesn't touch them, and they're not parked near where she parks either. She's been driving about 7 months on her own w/out any accidents/issues so she's doing pretty good. And its been a very snowy winter....then again she's only driven about 1,200 miles in the past 7 months. She doesn't go very many places.

Anyone need a w126 door???
Anyone need a black door? I know my wife won't let me store extra doors and I know where there is a donor car just waiting to give up her doors. I might use one or two of them as Coda has some rust (bottom side) on driver's side doors.

A rear door weighs probably about 65-70lbs without the interior panel and window regulator/motor. So the front is probably another 10-13 pounds....maybe 85?

It's just that I found a correct paint coded (same color as my door) in Fresno, Ca for $100 but for them to box it and ship to Iowa is over $600. I think I'll just have the body shop do the repair for the $2,000 quoted. They will spray the whole left side of the car to blend in the used door that they have found. |

It doesn't even cost $600 to ship an engine or transmission, someone was scam-quoting you on that shipping! There's a nice creme-colored SDL door in the yard by me too....

What color do you need?
I know of at least 4 w126 waiting to donate doors. And I'm just hoping one of them does not end up on my car.
