new car door
hey guys, and girls,
i just bought the same driver side door off my car 93 civic sedan from the wreckers so that i can replace it with my badly creased door with a non creased one.
is there something i need to know before attempting to swap it in myself? is it pretty straigth forward, ie undoing the bolts to the door and then redoing them back up on the new door or is there some sort of holy crap i didn't think of this and now i can't get any door back on my car situation?
thanks

thanks man, it looks pretty straightforward and i can do the inside panels and everything, i've taken them off before, i just wanted to know it wasn't a one way deal where if you take off a door, you can't put it back on with some sort of 500 dollar shop tool...
nah, nothin' like that man... luckily
and here's a tip. if you don't have another guy there to help hold the door up while you run the bolts in... use a floor jack or blocks of wood to hold it up. that'll make it a hell of a lot easier to put in the bolts. otherwise, holding up the door and tighening bolts will become a huge pain in your ass. goo luck

but i'm replacing the door with the same exact door off the same car, make model and year. why would it throw the aerodynamics off? i'm replacing it to get ride of a large crease i currently have on my door...?
your response seems a bit odd?
