Dont know for sure but you would need concealed hinges, no cut out in the door for the exposed piece :wink:  what would you do with the cut out left in the wing?? or are you replacing those too?


Cue Andrew .......

nope hidden hinge and exposed hinges are different...so is the mounting bit on the shell of the vehicle...

probably do-able but way more work than it would ever be worth.

It's been done, and I know why you are asking.

But, the rear doors have different hinges so are not a straight swap even though they are the same length, I'm guessing the reinforced patch for the hinge is in a different place.

The front doors are longer on concealed hinge IIRC, the A pillar is significantly different, the front wings are different as is the deck panel.

So you need a relatively solid concealed hinge motor to cut peices out of.
