ok so how thick is the door skin steel ??

I have just bought a bunch of repair panels for the Jag mk2 but i figure the door skins bottoms are just simple steel sheets with a fold, and i would buy those localy. have you see the Norwegian Krown to the GBPound?!!:grey: so how thick and is there anything else i need to know.

to quote Click and Clack "britsh cars are made out of compressed rust."

I believe 22gauge, although it might be a bit heavier. In any case, light enough that patching can cause warping and burn through if not done carefully
