GRAND PRIX Body Panel's

[Iowa Rockhauler]

They were part of a package deal with an &6 I bought. The doors on the car are dented, but pretty much rust free. Which is amazing since the car Sat outside for the past 6 years. I’m most likely just going to repair the doors that are on the car rather than mess with skinning them.

Mine sat outside for about 5 years then got stuffed into a garage that collapsed slowly on top of it. I could get away with skinning the fenders but both doors are just gone on the bottom structure. There's just nothing there to even work with

If you're still looking for doors, I may know of a place in Central Kansas that could help you out.

There may be some in a pick n pull near Wilson NC. I can take a look next time I'm there which I hope will be the end of the week.

That would be great. Finding anything in the central of the country is 100% impossible. I bet shipping on those would be pretty expensive!

Went and looked at the doors and some had the bottoms rusting and others were dented badly. Forgot to look at fenders which I can look at next time I'm there which will be soon.

Can these doors be fixed? This is an 85 Grand Prix I might buy tomorrow.

You'd need to find inner and outer lower patch panels which some places are still backorder on...

Or, find an inner patch and buy the NOS door skins 08Malibu had for sale and re-skin the doors, again, after replacing the lower inner section.

But on the far right side there's rot hole opened up on the lower inner panel so you aren't going to get away with just cleaning up what's there, not if you want the rust "fixed"

I didn't even know inner patch panels existed. Thanks for the heads-up. That hole in the door is nasty. Going to make sure it's just the doors before I pull the trigger. I'm cherry picking in NJ. LOL.

I see the inner patch panel here on some forum threads, but my internet searches are showing nada from "goodmark" and "sherman" patch panels. Maybe out of stock as you say.

Pardon? I don't understand the remark. I'm most concerned about the inner forward part of the door where you can put your hand in the hole. Are you saying you would be able to fix it up nicely?

Its looking more and more that I'm going to have to learn how to weld in panels.
