Help !!!!!!! Question on Door
Ok my husband & I have been just getting started on working on our 82 indy pace car. Today my husband ran in to a couple problems.
When we bought the car We knew the drivers door sagged because the old owner didnt correctly replaced the pins. So Today my huband desided he was going to take off the GFX & Try to get the door hung right. Well when he took off the door he found this. (pic attached)
My question is what years car door? I do know alot about these cars BUT I am just making sure that I can get a newer door with out a problem.

82-92 doesn't matter. From a Firebird or Camaro.
I am putting Firebird doors on my car right now, I just hafta weld in the old holes for the ground effects...since they are located higher than needed for my Camaro ones.

From: out of my mind; be back in 5 minutes....
Car: 1989 Firebird Formula
Engine: Internal Combustion
Transmission: Completed
Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
Be sure to get doors complete with the triangle parts and all the window mechanisms intact, as the 82 system is different than the 83-92.
