What to keep? (Page 1/1)

I found two gt doors the other day in the trash. I already have two sets of doors so I’m going to strip these two down. Bothe are fully electric. Both have broken areas near the mirrors, the rest of the skin is good. My fiero us all Manual doors. Besides clips and moldings, it it worth saving the window motor or door lock? Hinges? Handles? Driver mirror is good. The passenger is crap. I removed all the door panel hardware already. Is there any demand for the door panels? Glass is scratch to hell! I’ll be sending them to a scraper next weekend.

Maybe the complete window regulator assemblies and motors?

I believe they're unique which were discontinued with no interchange or cross-reference.

Only a thought....

Edit to add the rubber 'caps' which are on the ends of the 'dew wipes'
I've seen members searching for these 'caps' when replacing their sealing strips

I’d save the door lock U clips.
Sometimes they can get lost down at the bottom of the door when replacing the lock tumblers.
I would save all the small bolts that hold the regulator in place. (10mm size?) Saving nuts, bolts, fasteners from various GM cars pays off down the road. Lastly, I would save the door pull handle assemblies as sometimes that spring behind the handle breaks and I would save the smooth mounding trim.

Easy way is save the whole door but roll down the window.
Just power the motor w/ "12V" on 2 big wires.

That way can stuff them almost anywhere dry and somewhat clean. Can take little less space just by removing inner arm rest. Even can "Stand on End" if have other things to support that option. Example: I have a corner and shelf w/ a gap to shove the doors in that and been there for years.

If must take apart...
Keep all parts but door itself and maybe outer skin.
But often need more space and effort to save bolts etc that matches latches and other things. Need a bottle/can w/ lid to keep other small parts like clips holding rods in locks etc.
