Door swap
Well this weekend i found a door for my 1984 pontiac firebird, its off a 1985 chevy camaro, its non powered like my car so that wont be a problem, but will it fit my bird? Also do the door panels on my car fit the camaros? Any advice will be much appreciate and if you pros could give me some tips when swapping the doors. Thanx

Everything should swap over without too much trouble. You may want to swap the bracket for the arm rest over to your new door, I've swapped 3 doors, and had to swap the brackets on all of them

Is it hard to swap that out, it looks like a pain to put in a new door handle and swap my lock.

taking the old door off, swapping over all teh old thing such as the handle and lock, not that hard. the pain is getting the door lined up. the window too if you swap it over.

unless the door was hanging pretty bad the hinges should be ok. but I always recomend replacing the hinge pins. you can get a good kit from Top Down Solutions.
