New door

Hey guys. My passenger door has a big rust bubble and after talking to a local shop, it will cost a lot of money to fix cutting it out and welding a new piece in. So I am looking just to buy a new door. I found one but it is for a 86 turbo coupe. Will that work on my 87? Is the interior different (the door lock and unlock buttons).

The 83-86 doors will fit, but are different from side to side. The 87-88 body style has flush glass. Supposedly mark 7 doors fit too, but i haven't seen that in person.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I'll sell the door with the interior panel, glass, and mirror for $175. Just the bare door and glass for $100. Yes, I'm sure that shiping would be a bear. These things are heavy!

Is there a trade school, or vocational school in your area? If there is, bring the door and supplies to them for a cheap fix.
