Just testing the water for now but has anyone got a pair of complete doors for sale as might need to cut my doors off my beetle to remove them. Tia

Not sure why you'd go cutting off the doors even as a last resort - I've gone across it done before but you still need to take off the hinge mount on the pillar with the snot weld/smaller bolts welded to the screws method....

If you were to hack yr doors off you could just go n replace the hinge on the door drilling out welds etc if the doors are saveable
