Picked these half doors up some time (years) ago from a 1994 Wrangler that were rust free, but minus the locks and associated linkage. We pre-fitted these to the body and made the necessary latch adjustments. which frankly was a bit frustrating due to the fiberglass body. The opening size and shape was good on the body but the latch was the problem. Seems your on your own when it comes to the latch as I found only one made by Omix-Ada but it didn't conform too well to the double wall of the Shell Valley body. So original door latch striker brackets were modified. Luckily a steel plate was glassed into the body to mount them. The driver door showed a slight bow in the

middle and that was taken care of with a hydraulic press until a straight edge laid flat on the outer face. Once everything fit correctly the doors were stripped of all hardware and dropped off at garys autobody for paint along with the previously mentioned striker plates and aftermarket inside door panels. These panels came from Guage Works and fit very well using existing holes and are molded in black but not quite as black as the rest of the interior so these were also painted. As usual Garys paint work was top notch. Assembly commenced by laying a soft moving blanket on the workbench. All the latches were degreased and re-lubed with white lithium grease for smooth

operation. New inside handles were purchased. A side note on these, watch out for quality. A set was previously purchased and broke almost immediately. The second set was purchased thru Amazon and are made by Brock. Comparing both one can see why it broke. Outside chrome handles from Ebay seller am-autoparts fit perfect. The key locks, well that was a different story. I could find replacement locks but no linkage to go with them. Since ours was missing we had to improvise. Turns out the 1967 Cutlass parts car I had in the lower 40 uses the same mounting hole size as the Wrangler. Unfortunately I did not have the key for them which is the same as the ignition,

but did have a trunk lock and key. The trunk lock was disassembled, giving up it's tumblers, swapped those into the door locks, then had an ignition key blank cut using the trunk key as a master. Linkage was then bent up rounding out the assembly. Lock gaskets were obtained thru Original Parts Group. Stainless steel hinges were mounted with rubber gaskets made from roofing rubber to protect the paint along with stainless button socket head bolts. The striker plates were remounted to the body, and keeping the hinges loose the doors were hung and adjusted for alignment.
