I posted 2 previous threads re locations of companys that do a 3rd door for the Troopy. Two names came from the
forum 1. Polins Trucks in VIC and 2. SVM in QLD. Decision has been made to go with Polins and Im booked in for next Tueday,(Mon public Holiday) 3 weeks needed to do job. So will report back when job done.

Jeff,
we have them at work, don't know who did the conversion, it would have been done in.
Very professional job, our vehicles are subjected to extreme conditions and the conversion shows this up. They get rust around the rear wheel arch, this could be fixed by using lots of lanolin as a rust preventer that area.

I was in an admittedly very old one up at
Cape Leveque last year and noticed the truly awful fit of the door to the aperture, with daylight showing around the seal.
This was an issue of the fibreglass door not being the same shape as the aperture , and did not seem to me to be an in-service issue. BUT I could be wrong as the car could have been rolled at some stage distorting the aperture.
So before you take delivery just make sure the seal contacts the frame all the way around.
My quals to make this statement are 20 years in the car industry. This included working in assembly plants.
