I recently bought to full doors for my mustang. I know how to remove the door panel but i do not know how to remove the SHELL of the door itself. I repeat not the inside panel. THE DOOR or the shell or the skin idk. i have searched so hard and ive only seen instruction for inside panel removal.

There's 4 bolts between the door and the hinges. Don't try to remove the hinges from the body.

How do I access the hinges? do I have to take off the fenders?

 

[metalman302]

Open the door all the way and go from the inside

when i open the door though there isnt much room to work with and i can barely see the hinges.

I've swapped my door before in like 5 minutes with a partner holding the door and with the fender on. There's nothing else I can tell you. It's pretty obvious.

The connectors (2 per door) are maybe 6 inches inside the car and under the dash. They are a ***** to get to. You have to have skilled fingers and hopefully your hands are not big. I think on at least one side I had to pull that insulation mat stuff out of the way.

Oy. but the good news is i dont have to take off the fenders. also, the new doors i got have the mach 460 sound system on them and i was wondering if the speakers will just work once i get them in. And the doors were also off of a convertable so the drivers side has 2 extra window switches I would think that they are just gonna not do anything but the other 2 will work? hmm
