Most of the work was done by myself and my father...in the pics those are my buddy's giving me a hand taking the motor out they just wanted to be there.

So yesterday tackled yet another project..got myself new type r doors and door panels and went about to get them installed. Removing my old door shells was no problem it was when i was noticing all the differences, I noticed the new doors were power lock ready and the windows did not have the window motor...so I had to remove my window motor from the old door shells and install them in the new door (thanks Ryan for the install) The next trickiest thing was the door locks since they have to me change due to not being able to use my key to unlock them so that was a challenge in itself. So after the passenger door handle failing ended up using the white door handle which wont with my key which never worked anyway so it was pointless trying to change them anyway. so one door installed and the other side no door at all will tackle the driver side some time this week..main reason I got these doors was looking at painting the car and wanted to remove the side moldings so this will save me a few hundred bucks when i take it to the body shop.
here are some pics that everyone likes seeing :) now half the car is white lmao.

Oh and suppose-ably these panels are extremely rare due to it having blue carbon fibre only made 2001 Type R's had them so that was nice to find out (Thanks Ryan)

Where and when was this photo taken?
