Wish that I had seen this last week. Did mine for the first time and the instructions & pics would have made it much easier.

Your info is dead on.

On my next project I will take the time (we all should)to shoot some photos also so we can all have a reference to view.

THANKS

Great info!

I gave positive ratings to fierohoho and JD86GT350. Normally I would keep my ratings to myself (since I am politically against rating systems) but I just thought that I would point out that I *TRIED* to give Daniel87GT positive feedback but only get an error. Go figure. I wonder how many other positive ratings Daniel has missed because his ratings file is corrupt....

<sarcasm>Oh well, I didn't really like that Daniel guy anyway. Who cares if he knows what he's talking about. I'm offended by the way he uses uppercase and lowercase letters in the same username, so I want to boot him anyway.</sarcasm>

l8ter!!
p.s. even though I'm ranting, lets not hijack this ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL POST!! If you want to correct my political position on rating systems, pleas PM me. It's been months since I had a PM anyway!

Nice job!

I think you should have made the Haynes manual!

Hey whats that wink for. Thats a very serious statement. HoHo you seriously should have. Just the color pics alone makes a big difference.

Yes I agree you picked a very good time to do it as well. My power locks were (past tense! ) sticky, and I have a side mirror to replace. You posted your 'how to remove inner door panel' thread the day after I had my mirror ripped off. And now, thanks to this thread I don't have to ask the question of "wheres the mirror mount bolts?"

Yeay.

Great info! as I'm going to be adding PDL, PM and keyless to my doors soon (the doors are off the car)

Great timing as I probably would have pulled the skins off fron the top and broken the lips (86GT) on the top of the skins.

Thanks!

Jeez guys, my head is swelling up, thanks for the positive response.

I did this thread as I had time and a camera, I see new guys and a few old members posting questions that need this type of response, this is my way of paying the forum back for all the good info I have found and the great people I have met because of it.

I have several pics to add to help show the differences between the 84 year and 85-88 years door skins.

This first set of pics show the inside edge of the 84 door skin and then the 85-88 door skin.

1984

1985-1988

The next set shows the difference between the actual door frames of the 84 and 85-88.

1984

1985-1988

You can see the metal "rail" they added to hold the lip of the door skin, sure beats the three christmas tree fasteners on the 84's
