Hi EJYT, thanks for the reply and info.
My first goal is to get her running after sorting out the fuel problems and anything else that comes up.
Then I will investigate for any serious unexpected corrosion.
I've had her since new and she appeared to be ok underneath before being laid up in the garage, but you never know 🙂

Hello,

Yes they are different.
Depending on how rotten they are, they can be repaired by drying them thoroughly and repairing with fibreglass.
Once sturdy again, you can look to clean and re-glue the material.

Hi all,

Needs some advice really quickly please.

My drivers side front and drivers passager side rear door cards are rotten at the bottoms.

I need to replace them asap, mines a 5dr GL 1986 with quarter glass front door type, are there any differences between them and the larger front 1 piece glass modals?.

Thanks in advance.

Without any personal experience it sounds like water getting on the fuse box. This is a common fault.

Agreed, take the bottom dash panel off and see if there is any water up under the fuse box.

While it seems like a daunting task, fuse boxes are cheap and it's not too bad a job.

I'd also be checking the drains in your scuttle panel, make sure water can get away freely.
