I have an 87 astro CL.
I am wondering if there is any sites, or anyone that knows what it would take to convert a sliding door to one with hinges. I cant open my slideing door due to the size of the rims.

Hehe! Dude I own an 87 astro as well. I am souping it up when I get more money. Anwyay, that door idea would be way cool man! I say go for it. Are you talkin opening up as in hinges on top? OR Opening out to the left? You should think about opening up. I think if you had it open left, you'd have to have some friggin strong hinges that might come out of whack often because of the looong door :bloated:

i think he was referring to a double hinged door (like on full size vans)

access some of the onlineastro van clubs. i have seen many with "gull wing doors" and other extreams. they could give you some realistic ideas , maybe prevent problems. why try to reinvent the wheel when somebody else has already made the mistakes-right? richard
