question from a friend on the 510

[BlackBird620]

OK so my buddy is possibly getting a 510 sedan from his grandfather for his birthday car has been setting for 30 years and he was wondering if these were unibody or if they had a full frame and help would be GREAT I'll post pics when I get home

OK thanks I'll let him know that we are going to spend a lot of time redoing the floorpan in his if he gets it

[BlackBird620]

OK has another question need to get him to start a account on here. OK so still flipping through and ogling the pics he took he remembered that the front passenger door was creased in the front and wondered if the front door on the coupes was the same size as the ones used on the sedan? (Length fender to jam) reason he wonders is because he found a company that makes door skins for the coupe

2 door sedan is different than 4 door sedan, the door is longer. 

 

Coupes were not brought to the USA.

[BlackBird620]

Can anyone just get me measurements I would appreciate that more than just no ones longer without specifying which is longer

[BlackBird620]

I need to know how much longer so I know if we can cut the coupe skin to make it fit since as a guess I'm sure the coupe doors are the longer ones

[510T]

Just went out and measured my 4 door the front door is 36 and 1/4".

 

Hope that helps

OK now if anyone with a coupe could measure their door it would be much appreciated

Coupes were not available in the US. You may be waiting a bit for a Coupe owner to measure their doors... there are only a couple on this site.

Import only, right hand drive, true JDM coupes were also 2 door ... so they are not going to fit anyway.

 

The North American two door sedan's doors will also be too long.

 

You said the front passenger door so I'm going out on a limb here and assume you have rear passenger door making this car a 4 door???? The only front passenger doors that will fit are another 4 door or one from a station wagon.

 

 

FOR door

 

TOO door

 

Coupe

Note steering wheel on right and the rear roof line?Tail lights?

[BlackBird620]

OK I feel like no one on here knows that you can reskin a door without changing the door my question is how much longer is a coupe door than a front door on a 4door so I know how much of the skin I will have to trim to make it the right length

.

You keep saying coupe. There were no coupes here. There were 2 and 4 door sedans and wagons. That's it.

 

 

 

You are going to trim a longer 2 door skin to fit a 4 door, based on someone else's measurements?

[BlackBird620]

The 2door and coupe should have the same Door length and I needed measurements from a 4door to know how bad this door has been tweeked by whatever accident caused the damage the measurements from a coupe or 2door are just to know about how much extra I should have to work with not really necessary for the fix later on down the road

[scooter stuff]

If you cut down a 2dr skin for a 4dr the style lines will not match.

[q-tip]

What we are trying to tell you is that a 2dr door skin will NOT work on a 4dr door. It would probably cost you the same amount if not less to buy a whole door as it would for just the skin.....

[bananahamuck]

QTip,, it doesn`t seem matter what you tell him ,, now go out and measure one of your coupe doors and give him the measurement fer christs sake.
