Anyone here know anywhere that does repair panels for the bottom of the
doors ?
By this I mean the actual base of the door that sits above the door step
when the door is closed, the part that the door skin wraps around.
Both mine are overdue for re-skining but thats going to be a total waste
of time as the door bottoms have rotted out and the lip that the door
skin crimps around no longer exists.

Mini Sport advertise this ...

but as it has no picture I don't know if that's the part I want or not.

As it's coming up to summer (!!!) it's time to get the O/A gear out the
shed and do some serious work :-)

Thanks for any info, it's mucho appreciated as ever
Cheers

Have we had this mentioned before? If so sorry to ask again but why do some
folk keep saying that you shouldn't top post? Do they know something I
don't? If so do I need to know?

In my mind if you are following the thread you only want to see the latest
bit so it makes sense if it is at the top, otherwise you have to scroll
through all the previous stuff with the addition of >> all over the place.

The top posting thing comes from way back in the day, when hard drives
were (more) expensive and drive space was at a premium.
It's all down to NNTP server retention, because posts couldn't be held
on the server for too long and people (mainly) had to dial up (at normal
phone call rates) various posts would go missing from the server and so,
it was possible to see answers but no question, or on text based
terminals, you could read the answer but have to go down so many lines
to finally read the answer, by this time you would have forgotten what
the answer was !
Thus it was (is) netiquette to bottom post.
However !!, whilst in some groups you will be (virtually) shot dead for
top posting (ie in the comp. hierarchy) in most groups you can get away
with it.
Thus is anyone came into this group complaining about top posting and it
being against netiquette, we could shoot them down complaing about their
lack of netiquette for not lurking on the group to get the feel for it
in the first place. Also I could get shot down for posting off topic but
then again I could comaplain that my original post was on topic and we
just went off on a tangent ...
etc etc

SO there we are, one explanation that goes on and on :-)

Cheers
Jim

By the way I think I'll go for the Mini Spares door bottom repair
panels, especially if I can find one for the off side door aswell !

I have been told off a few times for top posting,
Personally I prefer it,,,, no scrolling down to the bottom,, its direct,
instant, and easy, especially if you have been following the thread in the
first place,
its the dissecting and cut and paste merchants that do my head in,
"top posting rules"
