Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber Doors

[M20Curtis]

Hey all, I know the Group Buy for the hoods and trunks is going very well and I plan to join that project. I have contacted a very good local fabricator for creating 2002 doors to add to that weight loss idea. He has gotten back to me finally this week for some pricing.

As long as we can get 5 sets of either material, the price per set would be $700 for fiberglass or $1200 for Carbon Fiber. Is anyone interested? Let me know and I can start working with the guy on getting a set made to show the craftsmanship.

I can't wait to get a set of doors, hood, and trunk; that's got to be close to shaving 150 lbs off of the car!

are you going to run these with a cage including side protection? I love the idea of losing some weight from the heavy doors, but not sure I could live with the risk of a side impact.

Hey Nick,

Yes, I will personally have a full cage in the car and would recommend it for anyone else interested in this GB. I figured there will be at least 5 racecars needing this so I talked him down to this rate at a minimum of 5 cars.

Let me know!

My doors started out at around 60 pounds a piece. After lots of cutting, they ended up around 14 pounds each. I would think fiberglass could cut that almost in half depending on the thickness. Here is a pic of the door finished.

If they'll look like this I'd be in.... IF I only had the money....

I plan on keeping the wing window and frame, with all side windows in Lexan.... WITH Porsche style lifting straps...

AND ONLY WITH A CAGE THAT HAS GOOD DOOR BAR PROTECTION!!!!

I would take a set of fiberglass doors.

Hey all,

Is anyone interested in this project? Please email me at Curtis@WTFmotorsports.net. I am working on getting this going again to get some door orders started soon! Now that my hood and trunk are on, I have the bug for more weightloss!

Hi Curtis

Have you considered that type of doors? Being boxed, they are stronger and offer a nice finish.

[M20Curtis]

That works fine for my purpose, where would I go about buying them or getting pricing? Thanks Lee!

Guys, i'm thinking now of making fiberglass copies of my trunk, hood and maybe my doors. I'll be using my stock ones, but i'll be doing them for selling. And i can do the doors. If someone is interested i can do it like a stock door from in and outside, just like the picture from Cahsel.de website a few posts above.

I can do a set of doors for $550 shipped to anywhere in US.

Also i'll start reproducing 2002 Alpina recaro seat copies, from fiberglass again.

E-mail me if you're interested, and if more people will want set of doors, i can even lower a bit the price to $500 for a set.

Very interested! Any pictures of doors or your previous work?

Hey Curtis. Why don't you produce your own doors?

I haven't done any doors yet, but if there will be interested i'll start them. Anyway here i have just one E30 Alpina air dam, the other fiberglass parts i've made are in my other garage where i'll go after 1-2 weeks. I'll take you a picture of the air dam.

Lee,

I was trying to and have a local source that will do fiberglass or carbon but need 5 sets and only have 3. Anyone else interested? This guy does perfect work and I would help set it all up!
