Well, there are actually quite a few different doors and from what I can tell, they are all interchangable. I have no less than six NOS, primered Type 3 doors, all are right hand side and three have a mirror provision, three do not. Further, there are also three different part numbers for these. It may not make sense, but there were probably some minor changes made to the doors over time. I will have to look at these doors and see what if any differences (besides the mirror holes) there are. * Are there other differences in door shells for right and left hand drive * cars? I strongly doubt it. That would not make any sense. I will look into it though. Patrick
