I'll be a 140 door expert,,,
 

We are redoing a 97 140 S320 and got 2 used front doors to replace the rusted old ones. I have been disassembling the "new" doors, getting them ready for paint and will be removing the old ones from the car. Anyone who needs to know anything about anything on a 140 door,, ask me now before I forget.:D

How many spot welds per door, and if there are any impact bars, how thick are they?:D

Sounds like a good time
~Nate

Right door has 7,283 spot welds,,, left has 7,282,,,, don't know why the difference, I counted them each 10 times. 6 impact bars per door,,, each .0125" thick.:D

How much blood (in liters) does a project like this require? :D

That's a pretty tiny impact bar... Less then 1/32"

Are they made out of Unubtanium?

~Nate

someone was too tired by the time they got to the other door. Pictures, we need pictures.

The blood that will be spilt will be mine, but first borns, and LOTS of money work pretty good.:D

disassembly hints?
 

If you have time or a camera....

How do you get the wood off without breaking it?

Location of all the screws to get the door panel off?

Are the window regulators easy to get at ( similar to 126's)?

I'll have to look at a door panel as the wood just comes with the panel,
Screws are,,, in the arm rest, around the striker, behind the SRS label, and behind [2] the seat control switches. Those are the least intuitive as you need to turn 2 small brackets with a thin object from the rear of that wood panel. They turn UP. The panel itself snaps in,,, it doesn't hook in like a 126 or 124.

Window regs aren't too bad but they do rivet in if I remember,,,, I am at home and the car is in the shop. Door glass is very easy to R & I,,, 3 torx screws at the bottom and it comes right out.
