Hey guys,

has anyone had anything to do with aftermarket doors on a ute?would like some feedback before purchasing.

Cheers.

Hi there

The CFC brand. ( Chung Fu Ching )

Which the cardboard wrapping says

I found not the best quality control is a problem, I believe

The panels a great, way less time spent if you were cutting rust out and repairing original doors
or panels.

The after market doors I got needed some work to get door and panel gaps right.

I spot welded all the inside corners of the door skins

When fitting up, they were flexing and had movement between the inner door
and the outer door skin

I think there are a couple of brands, I helped another member fit up his panels
They fitted way better and easier than mine did.

The difference could have been I think a 1976 ute
To my ute is a 1981

I would buy any panels from muscle car parts in Moorebank (Sydney)

He understands that sometimes a crappy panel slips through.

Might be willing to exchange a really bad one.

However, dont expect excellent fit up out of the box.
Some massaging and basic panel beating is required.

I believe most replacement panels, even on new cars require the same little tweaks
That's why panel shops charge money.
They are skilled at what they do.

With some banging, crashing and beer, occasional yelling.

I got all the panels to line up not to bad

Another thing,

The sheet metal used to make these replacement panels is thin.

Thinner that the factory panels.

The good thing is, easier to work and shape.

The bad, they dent very easily

If you wanted to see pictures of mine.

Should be a some in my build thread, I haven't added much to it in a while

All the best.

Hope I was some help
