Today had ups and downs LOL. Well I stashed my old car at my parents house about a half hour away from my house. I was at my parents the other day and I inspected the drivers door. It looked to be in pretty good shape. The bottom lip was in mint condition, and there is no hole in the post like the door on my project car. So it was decided to put the 326's door on my old 323, and steal it's door for the project.
It gets confusing so here is the run down. I have (3) 323's (Now) Have had (4)
1)The flat black one I just took off the road. (going to use it for parts).
2)The grey one (my new daily driver)
3)My project car (To be KLZE powered)
4)Had a shiny black parts car 323 also. Many of the panels are on the V6 car and its engine is in the flat black car
A 323 door actually fits in the hatch of a 323! I thought for sure there would be bungee cords and hope involved.
My door and I on a romantic drive to the country
The door and I saw a beaver! Oh-Canada! (Not something you see everyday-even in Canada)
The door and I finally got to my parents house.
The drivers door looked to be in good shape, which is odd cause everything else is garbage LOL
I decided to remove the fender and take the door with the hinges, then replace it with my hole in the post door. I went to undo the fender bolt that you access when the door is open, when I noticed the door was rotted badly where the upper hinge bolts on. Mission aborted. Other then the hole in the post the other door was mint. Thinking a hole in the post is easier to fix then a hole where the hinge bolts on.

Note: this is still the flat black car (it is still green in the jams) LOL.
My door and I drove home. I decided to start body work on the hatch.
The hatch was off my shiny black parts car, it is mint.
Used the box garbage bags came in to make a template for a patch for the third brake light.

I have a spoiler like the one on my daily driver with a third brake light in it already. It came off the hatch of the soon to be V6 car. Every panel on that car was / is crap, so I chucked the hatch. Original panels = barely acceptable left fender & door LOL. I am told the spoiler only came on Canadian cars?
