Hi, 
Have watched the videos, for making a bonnet.
I am planning on making a door using the same procedures .
Plan to make a two part  outer skin and inner skin  moulds following the videos...

The bottom half of the door is similar to the bonnet, thus do-able with care.
The top half of the door (glass surround) makes the approach more complex.

(see images attached).



What is the best approach???? 



My  newbie (2cents) is to use infusion as per the bonnet.

Regards
Peter
ps New (NOS) 2cv doors now retail at about £300

To my eye, this could be done as two complete halves (inside & Outside) using infusion .. You would have to cut out the window part of each door "skin" Then trim and bond the halves together.

It does not look at all complicated to me -- The 2CV "stamped" metal doors are VERY simple shapes ..

The window-area that needs to be cut out could be laid up with cheap glass-fibre cloth, just as "sacrificial infusion facilitator" or the mould made with a glass-plate, and the cut out CF "sheet" used as flat CF sheet for other purposes ..

A Carbon 2CV would certainly be a sight to see .. and very light weight w00t

We have a few completely galvanized 2CV's driving around in our area .. A "CF 2 CV"  would certainly outshine them .. BigGrin

Good Luck
