Re: Getting doors to stay up

["Roger Brogren" <rbrogren@xxxx>]

Congratulations Kevin! I was following the e-bay auction on VIN4687 
but did not have the time to get to Texas for a look-see, however, I 
was still tempted to bid anyway! From the description I think that 
you got a good buy, 18000 miles, el doorlocks, cruise et al!

I noticed the drooping doors on the e-bay picture, the D that I am 
looking at looks the same. The present owner told me that the struts 
should be replaced, but not to buy the regular aftermarkets struts 
since they are generally not beefy enough. I recently bought new 
struts for my Porsche and they were quite a bit more expensive than 
the auto parts store variety. I believe the D struts are about $66 
each.
