Bought my VE with a couple of deep point dents in the drivers door.
Easier to replace the door so I am seeking a Drivers door schematic.
I have a Calais door without the cards as I am using what is on my door.
I have a repair manual but it's just the mechanical parts, I need the body manual.

Any one know where I might find this?
Cheers, Bill

As Above ^^^^

Use the new shell and use the existing internals from the existing Door,

It all should fit.

I don't think a service/repair manual shows the detail of the door your after,

The loom for the door disconnects behind the rubber boot,
and the loom runs basically through the door, just copy what's there, if your unsure, take a couple of photo's,
There's not much to it really, possible need another pair of hands to hold the door when unbolting it,
and to lift and hold the replacement door to bolt it up.
So the replacement door is a bare door, I would of thought they would have left the hardware in the door.
Make sure you change the Door Barrel from your original door. [that if it still has a handle on it]

Just watch the orange rectangles when you replace trim the outer door one got missed so left a gap.
Hope that makes sence?
