I've got both front doors here in Boston. They're white, ding-free, and rust-free from an '87. I'd like to get $100 for either side, if possible. (Note: junkyards want $150 to $250 for one) Let me know. Unfortunately, there is no way to ship these puppies -- you'd have to pick it up somehow.

Cheers,

MJS
