Anyone thinking of restoring a car If you have never done it before and contemplating it... Just don't do it, it won't be cheap.[/QUOTE]

Sound advice

[Valencia]

Restoring cars and cheap are 2 two words that just dont go together

Too many "project's" end up being sold.

Got the doors sorted. Anyone planning on converting an HQ door to a later one spend the time before painting, it will make fitment a lot easier. It's not a straight forward conversion.

Any advise on the tight door rubbers. They make it really hard to close the doors.

You can see both the sound deadening and the new talced seals here. The only thing I'll need to watch is that the hinges stay well lubed so the weight of the door doesn't kill the hinges.

Self adhesive, though I'll admit I've never been called that before...

[Taily]

Have you wiped them down liberally with talcum powder? My new ones are quite tight still, but because of the extra weight in the doors (I lined the inside of the doors with (Focal brand) sound deadening and smothered the door seals in talc, they shut quite easily. I also fitted the seals and adjusted the doors to suit before I painted the ute. I painted it with the doors on rather than off the vehicle. I have found that I did need to leave the doors always closed as the seals took a little while to conform to shape properly.

Cheers guys, I have already got some dynamat ready to go in. I'm assuming that it'll be similar to the focal brand gear. Should make a difference to the Good old DSL speakers that i have ready to go in. The cost if amps is making me feel sick though...
Rare spares have a rubber spray that I have seen, so I will give that a try as well, the talc looks like a nice clean option though.

Hi mate. What was involved in modifying from HQ to HZ doors? Cheers
