Except the internal cutouts on the mk1 & mk2 , door handles are different

Cut outs maybe but door handles are the same aren't they? Certainly the handles on my mk2 van are the same as my mk1 saloon?

 

Going from this pic so is the mk2 estate?

 

Or do you mean the internal handles?

 

[Savvi]

As far as i kow the internal handles are different ?

 

So the cutout for the handle is different to suit a mk2 handle ?

[MARK FRST]

cheers for all your help lads

[Skimmer]

The hinges are not the same mk1 are pins and mk2 are bolt on .....

[MARK FRST]

mk2 estate are defo pins though as ive just removed mine mk2 saloon are bolt on

[Darran]

Early mk2 estate are on pins.

the other 95% bolt on like a mk2 saloon.

 

mk2 estate and van have MK2 internal door openers.

 

mk2 van doors not the same as mk2 van as internals are different,as obove

[Sheepy]

Mines a 1980 mk2 van, and the hinges are bolted on (better idea in my opinion)

Don't know about the inside panels!

[Sheepy]

That's a nice looking estate vista!

[MARK FRST]

mines a r plate estate with pins i wish they were bolt on as 30 year old pins dont like coming out lol

[Sheepy]

Is it not possible (with a bit of modification) to modify them from pins to bolt on, I know it means cutting off the old ones, it will make removing the doors so easy in the future,

When I changed my rotten doors, I just cut off the hinge and drilled holes, then used later bolt on doors. There is no reason you couldn't weld bolt on hinges to your doors.

Thats the reason ive cut the A posts out of my lads H reg MK1 Estate and replaced with mk2 A posts so the doors will go on easier and he is on about getteing fiberglass doors in the future so could be a good move on my part ..
