Oh ok. Some of em have got a weird kind of tar underneath em, I can only see it around the fuel cell on mine.
Nah was just a high pressure water gun. Just gave it a degrees then a squirt to get it ready for paint.

compressor + air drill + wire wheel set will clean up the underside really well
electric drill dies which is fair enough...
now thats an idea!
sounds like a big job..... :wacko:
I think the next big hit will be carbon doors filled with helium... However, hydrogen is optional, only for the most hardcorest of racers![]()
Hi fellas...
I am interested in these doors, but guess that gutting standard doors would be just as effective...
Just disappointed that someone obviously has the skills to make them out of fibreglass and then TRIES to sell them with
massive amounts of takumi tax...
I would buy them if they were around $500 a pair...surely there is still money in that for the manufacturer...??

You have to imagine, making a door is a lot harder than say a bonnet or hatch.
It'd have the inside layer and outside layer, the mould HAS to be good, so that you can attach all the locking and shutting mechanisms. Including your trim. etc etc.
In all honesty, people used to complain that there was no fibreglass items in Australia. Now someone makes them, and you're still whinging. Try bringing in the same parts from Japan, without getting smacked with freight costs and taxes.
No, it's not Takumi tax, Takumi never even used frp hatches or doors. lol
In saying that, wait awhile, I'm sure he'll realise his price is too high and drop it because no one is buying.
Yep I'd be onto a pair for $500 bucks, but $900ish does sound fair considering good bodykits sell for a few grand and a door is twice as complex.
There was a mob in NZ() making and selling all FRP AE86 body parts, inc doors, hatches etc. But for some reason they're website seem to no longer exist? They were a lot cheaper than the ones on eBay.
yeah you can get them from nz for frp ones 800 before shipping
where i am getting orgin frp ones from japan for 900 to my door and also
soon as you hit the $1000 mark you get hit with more of a import tax
