Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think you would fit! | | | Re: Lambo Doors | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 Madman! | OP Madman! Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 | Really nice!!!!!!!! If it wasn't easy why make it look so? That old adage comes into play here, "Pictures don't really show much". It really isn't a hard job to do. See my reply to Doug. Also, I'm sure once you have done a few, they get a lot easier to get the right placement. The hinge gets welded to the pillar structure and also to the door, so it takes a lot of time to make sure it's right before welding anything. | | | Re: Lambo Doors | Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 1,294 member | member Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 1,294 | Im 185 lbs...i have a hard time getting in my astro with normal doors!!!

Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 | The biggest issue with this door, I believe is, that the kit that he had is not for an Astro. I have seen a couple different Astro's after I did this, and they had a completely different type of Lambo kit. With the right one, the whole thing may work better (easier). If I had more time with this van, I would have re-engineered the hing to make it work better. | | | Re: Lambo Doors | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 398 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 398 | nice job that van is going to look sweet.
