I've spoken to M&M in warrington and they've seen his work and apparantley it's fantastic.... only thing is you have to give him your doors (if exchanging) and also the doors you get from him are stripped bare so it'll take you a while to reuild them again.

I used the mini door company! He was a good geezer too. He started up by restoring Minis then people asked him to restore theres for them.

He said it soon became apparent that everyone in his local club was after doors re-skinning and that he seemed to be specialising in them. So he set up a business doing just that!

And he was dead honest, I wanted to spend alot more money than I did getting a pair of lightweight 'streetfighter' doors off him. But he advised me against it for my Mini.

The pair I bought were really good quality, he pumped some Waxoyl in them for me too! I haven't got any complaints!

:grin:

Went and got my doors today, top guy
The doors are very good indeed.
Got a set of re-cond hinges as well with all the nuts and screws at a reasonable price.
If anyone is thinking of getting some doors I would ring him first as I got the last pair. He said he had been very busy over the last month.
