For anyone who hasn't seen this thread going on in the 80 series section, I now have the opportunity to make up Gullwing doors or hatches for the rear side windows of the 80 series. These replace the glass with no further modifications and are as such totally reversible. They have external hinges and a single edge mounted rubber seal along with an adhesive primary dust seal. They are made out of 3mm ally.
Prototypes are being worked on and there will be photos posted soon.
Pricing is a little more than I had hoped but I have pared it to the bone for a group buy and this is being done by me and organised through my business which is not taking much profit for the work involved.
There are two versions, one with and one without * a connecting 'flange' on the rear to attach a locker or back cabinet to. With painted and non painted versions of each. Two C5 latches and secure external adjustable hinges complement the flush mount design.
All prices are plus insured carriage and packing at £25.42 for a pair and £15.13 for a single or collection is fine in which case no carriage would be charged.
Singles would need stating LH or RH as viewed by the driver. Note that these are a direct replacement for 80 series rear side windows. Should you have and want to replace the sliding windows, then a rubber is needed for each side, Part number 62741-60030. These are £50.72 each plus VAT from my local Toyota main dealer and £43 plus delivery, import duty and VAT from Amayama Japan or £25 plus delivery, VAT and import duty from Amayama UAE who have stock for delivery in 2-3 weeks.
I could arrange for a bulk buy if more than say two pairs are needed. Edit, probably best doing this individually.
The doors and frames themselves, as follows:-
With rear mounting frame for fitting whatever cabinet or locker you want to make and fit.
I will be putting these on eBay when ready for around the £850 mark plus delivery.
PM me for club member pricing.
So look out for the photo of the prototype and show your interest below. Delivery is 4-5 weeks in batches at present. Please express your interest below by quoting the list then removing the quote marks. No absolute commitment but I would hope at this stage (dependent on the prototype) that most will commit to buy.

Edit * the non framed/ flanged model has been discontinued after first production run as the framed version is far more rigid.
