replacing entire doors
Hi all,
My '04 XC90 was backed into and both the front and rear doors on the driver side were significantly dented (no damage to body pillars). Considering i bought the car for $1500, body work and paint is out of the question. I did, however, find a local salvage yard that I can get both doors from for $250.
My question is how difficult is this job? I assume it involves removing the interior door panels, disconnecting the harnesses, unbolting the torx bolts and lifting the doors off. I also anticipate having to replace the front door lock and side view mirror with mine. Is it this simple or are there allignment issues and other things that will make it complicated. I am fairly handy and equipped with the tools I'll need (I think).
Any tips or direction to DIYs on this would be great.
Thanks
