The Bus gets some new doors, used and Yellow.

So, after installing some snazzy tires and rims, it was time to hang some doors.
My Bro Scott is a professional. So he was a door-hanger professional.
Swapping out doors is not as bad as you would think.
The main concern it not dropping the door on your foot or head.
Also make sure the doors are of the same year, preferably.
It's also helpful to mark hinge location- the next door may not line
up as easily. Over all not bad, an easy project.
Unbolt some bolts, remember where the stuff goes, tighten and adjust.
No Problem
I took some pictures. Here you go.

Start by removing the old door locks, handles, door glass
whatever you want to keep or install on the new doors.
















The door hardware is easy to remove.
It's easy to drop stuff in the dirt.










After removing the old stuff, transfer it to the new door. It's good to keep the old door intact. It makes for easy reference.











It's good to have a partner to hold the door.
Lining up the hinges can be a pain.














Scott's holding the door, while I fiddle with my camera.
The more I fiddle, the heavier the door gets, the more frustrated Scott gets.














Door is installed.
Color is a little off.
Over all, the doors are straight and not
rusty or dented. The gaskets are in good shape.



No job is complete without a vigorous Thumbs-up!
Good job, Hanger of the Doors.
