I'm going to remove my drivers door to replace the hinge bushings and fix the door stop area.
Does anyone know what the approx. door weight is? '83 911 SC.
Thanks

If the question would be better phrased: should I have at least one helper?....then the answer is YES.

No helper...I'm making a padded wooden cradle that will bolt to my floor jack and the door will be 'in place' prior to removing the bolts.
Just wanted a round figure for planning purposes.

IDK but when I close mine, it sounds like it's about 800lbs or so.

I have a 4 post lift. Placed the door on a high chair and adjust the lift to the same height as the door. Yes the door was heavy putting it on the chair.

I've bolted a 3 ft. 4x4 to my hyd floor jack that has 2x4's attached (think inverted saw horse that fits the door width) and I'll pad that with foam.
Slide it in place and unbolt the door...never have to lift it.
The outer skin/lip hangs over the edge of the 4x4 with shims underneath as the bottom of the door is not flat. This after all of the door stuff is off and wires out.

now you just got to patent it...

I'll patent the improved inflatable model!
Anyone, a ballpark I won't hold you to it approx. weight?

I thought maybe this was part of your weight savings plan. Go all Jeep Wrangler on it.

More like Less Nessman's invisible office....

You've gotta copy my extreme CS/R/RS/RSR door cards if you really want to loose some weight. Anything less and you are just spinning your wheels.
