I am converting a 1996 ROW 90 to a soft top. As with everything I do these days, I want to do it right - which includes sending the new tailgate I'm buying off to get the inner panel galvanized. This will take months - likely into the fall, when the 90 goes into winter hibernation. I also need to weld on tabs for the drop gate, which will require fabrication since the Genuine parts are flimsy in comparison to the originals...
I have a rear door that has had some corrosion repairs, but is sound and has the original paint, still. It has the rear wiper, rear sprayer, and heater element. I'm never going to use the 90 in the winter, nor do I think I'll go back to installing the hard top - which I'll likely list for sale in a week.
My tought is to cut what I have in half and make due for the remainder of the season.
What's a B- condition rear door really worth on the market? Can I bring myself to trash something that's perfectly good and usable??
If I'm really careful, I suppose I could follow this person's lead:

Kin Hell how times flys With the Howling Wolf Challenge coming up, (and damned quick too) there were a number of things I needed to do to the 90, some for scrutineering ..............and some I just 'wanted' to do........... I love the Hardtop and the space it gives me, but it is nowhere near a p...
