OK, so removed my door skin (stop sniggering at the back). The outer skin is rolled over the inner frame and is actually reasonably straight forward t remove. This one tok me about 2 hours, but the second one will be done a lot quicker.

Heres pics-

1st up, a good selection of power tools!



and a good selection of h+s stuff



1st up I heated up and removed the sealant, wasn't really necessary to heat it up as it was quite a warm day anyway and it came off pretty easy





Then you can see how the outer skin is rolled over the frame



Then you prise up the rolled over edge-



I used a set of grips to keep rolling it back-





soon got bored of that so ran an angle grinder down the outer skin, above where the frame is, which allowed me to just pull off the remaining bit of metal-

I found the angle grinder method easiest so repeated it around the whole door. Just make sure you cut where there is a gap behind the outer skin, so you don't also cut the framework-







This bit just fell out once I cut around it-





and same again on the other side, be careful here as there thicker metal just below the outer skin which supports the hinges etc-



outer skin off-



side impact barrier removed-



then everything else!-





not got anything to bond it on with yet but looks like a good fit...

Looking good how much did the doors set you back? And how much weight do you think you've saved

A carbon item will be approximately half the weight, why can't he do one of those?
