Hey all, still trying to finish the project 2.3T vanagon.  She still doesn't
run, simply no time to finish it yet.
Anyway, was backing(pushing) the van out of its parking place down the
driveway.  The drive has a slight grade and the van was picking up speed
rather quickly.  I was steering while walking backwards beside it with
driver door open.  Had to navigate a turn in the drive without hitting my
friend's Ford Bronco.  The Bronco was on the passenger side, so I was
looking in that direction.  A fraction of a second too late I remembered the
fence post on the drivers side.  The open door hooked the post and bent
completely backwards, to my dismay.
I am thinking of straitening the door, but it probably won't look right or
close properly.
If anybody can point me towards a good driver door with mounting hole for
small mirror(early style), in white, I would be very grateful.
Barring this, its search the boneyards...
Thanks, PSD.
