After pulling a dent out of the driver's door, Ron stripped the other side today to find a deep slash that was buried with filler. He cleaned it out, pulled the dent, and got it straightened before priming both of the doors. The good thing was that there was virtually no rust in either door. Floor and firewall work will come next. Looks like the orange door was set up for a remote mirror. That hole will need to be welded up.

I thought all driver side doors have the hole for a remote mirror cable ?

Looks like some screw holes on the passenger door for a RH mirror. But thats the yellow door? So the orange one is ok

Rob, one of the former owners or perhaps a dealer may have added the right side mirror as it was on when this picture was taken back in the '80s. Not sure when it was installed but I will leave it there as I like having one on the right.
