Rear door repair
Hi people can anybody help please,im restoring my 300gd 1986 SWB single rear door, and i need ether a new back door or a repair panel for bottom 3" for existing door,iv got new rear quarters,and i could do with some new A pillars,can anybody help,sorry but im trying to stay clear of dealers had nothing but nothing from them,they never call back,too busy(drinking tea),and are about as much use as a fart in a space suit if they have no chassis number.. if any of you fellow members can help, thank you

Hi..
Understand your feelings on Merc dealers..
But you might want to try Merc in Poole. They have a specialist classic parts sourcing bit in their parts department. I think Paul is the one to talk to. Always had good service out of them and at least you know what the most you will pay for a bit is
Just stick Merc Poole into google - I can't get the link to paste. Should be called Jacksons and have your VIN ready.

Hi 123.gtt
try a local sheetmetal /body repair man!! we run the cutting disc along the edge of the bevel in the lower door skin ( door and seal removed of course ) and grind off the edges leaving the the frame behind the skin intact ..cut a new piece of metal to pattern ....weld it in place.. dress the joins and paint ...you would never know that a repair had been done.....
I agree with all the sentiments above.
Guido is at ebay@offroadworld.de
He is very knowledgeable and his English is excellent.
For main dealer there is only one, Jacksons of Poole.
The man you need is Mervyn Wright.
He is not a G-Wagen expert, but could not be more helpful.
As Fixwin noted, rear door is a local fabrication shop job.
