Title: Beta Coupe/HPE doors
Post by: sweeet-twincam on 25 July, 2014, 03:39:36 PM: Hi all, just putting feelers out to see if anyone has a pair of solid doors for the Coupe/HPE/Spider...(Monte even?).... may need a pair soon if I can`t get my ones suitably sound...... :'(

Agree with Neil, I sold the doors for the coupe, but they were the only spare pair I had. Also suggest keeping an eye on Ebay, there will be some expensive ones on there, but they do come up at more sensible prices.

Its fairly standard practice to reskin in alloy for racing...the sort of thing John Day could advise on "from who" and "how much".

Fibreglass doors are available, but I think they are circa £175 too.
