I have decided to replace the door skins on my doors.
Originally i was planning on just repairing the doors i had but i don't like the thought of the rust and rot inside. I was only able to find a clubman passenger door skin that was 'New Old Stock'. This was from Mini King in NSW which cost me just over $200 shipped. See the thing with Australian clubman doors is they no longer make door skins for them and they never had a door in the UK with the same door handle. So as it stands i am only able to fix one of the doors.
I had previously researched on how to replace the door skin of a Mini and found a nice write up by a member on The Mini Forums. Looked easy enough.

This is the door skin i removed. Looks better than it actually is.
Underneath i found a bit of rust and rot.
Cleaned up, primed and replaced the rubber (i think this stops the skin from rattling with its support)
Here are the supports to take note of when re-assembling the door skins.
Door skin on. Need to apply some knife putty over the spot weld and prime.
Finished door mounted.
