Re: door swap

The doors on a 85 Mustang are the same as the Capri. The holes,
wiring, etc, should all the the same. On my car I had a Mustang
door swapped with the Capri door and there was no difference. Yes,
you need to move the glass and stuff over.

Now, the doors on an 85 Mustang CONVERTIBLE may not be exactly the
same. asc cut the window frame off the door when they did their
conversion. They may also have done a few other modifications. An
85 GT convertible would have doors modified by Cars & Concepts and I
doubt they cut the window frame off in the same way as asc. I THINK
they also added some door bumpers to keep the fit of the door tight
against the body so that flexing or warping would be minimized.
However, as I've never seen an asc vert door or a Mustang vert door,
a Mustang vert door may actually be less work if you find a good one.

Some people at www.foureyedpride.com have taken hatchback/notchback
doors and converted them to vert doors by trying to follow what CC
did. It was work but they have been successful.

As always correct me if I'm wrong.
