Its like anything if you spend the time you can get a great finish, The upholder idea is wicked. SierraDan wrote: You weld to the thicker stuff and invite the thinner stuff to the party. These are 2mm top plates dimpled and a bit of 3" exhaust pipe for a cup holder.  Not sure about the dimples would it be a pain when water/mud etc gets in there?

Mud? No. Rain. There's no staying dry in that car.

How dry/clean did you honestly think you would remain after removing half the door? In the words of this Scotsman, "You're not using your head".

that and the fact the tyres stick all the out past the guards, that wouldn't see too much MUD driving.

There's holes in the bottom of every door + you can just wash it out.

Feeling somewhat inspired by this thread, I got to work chopping up a busted door I have..  And just an idea of how I'm going to brace the inside door skin.  Not finished yet, I still have to sort out the latch but I will be leaving it as original. Only to eliminate extra work, and is why it's not as fancy as other's posted in here, I only intend of putting them on during summer or when I go wheeling so there's no point in putting in a lot of work for something that won't get used very often.
