The wing is bolt on/off. Dead easy. Get some kind of sealant to bed in the new one, I forget what I used precisely. Be prepared for a shock when you se your inner wings though :?

Door pins are a bit of a b*tch to get out. You need a door pin removal tool. The Draper tool which is all over ebay ...

Gents,

Quick question. How easy is it to replace front wings and doors?

Reason I ask is because I've seen a car and I know the front wing and drivers door is rusty (by the wing mirror) I wanted to know ho easy t is to replace these items? are the wings bolted on? what about doors? Just thinking if ...

i tihnk in terms of whether they fit or not, the reality is from those dimensions they do fit, but whether they are a correct fit or a safe fit is another.

Hmm.... so 3 door rear seats ...

The seat frame, cushion, padding & covers are all the same on the rear seats. However, the backing of the 4 and 3/5 door seat is different, as one is foldeable, the other isn't. It has been made to fit though (e.g. by people fitting leather from a saloon into a hatch).
