how bad was the old one ? As Kombi.noise said, they're fairly scarce, most if not all early ones are rotted out at the bottom 6inches, but repair panels inner and outer are available, i've repaired mine that way, got the panels from Jon White

the back of the end of the door where it get pulled in has a plate that sits at an angle on late doors,so does the pillar it meets.
its flat on early ones,also the hinge that is sping loaded goes through a bigger hole on early doors.
if u cant find one in next while...i have one that the main panel is dented and bottom could be repaired with a panel.not ompossible but
would need time spending on it,it was from a caravelle,and has a slidin window in it.
if u pm you email adress i can get pics to u in next week or so...
