ZR-1 Door Mystery
I have a 91 ZR-1 with just under 9000 miles. The car has had at least one respray in its stock yellow color. I have noticed both doors and door hinges have some peeled yellow paint exposing red paint underneath.
I have had two mechanics look at the car (including Marc Haibeck) who state the car has no signs of frame damage or previous accident. No accidents reported on Carfax. Would seem unlikely to me that the car was in an accident and only had damage to the doors. I do think the car may be been stored outside for a period of time in Florida, though this is only a guess. Does anyone have an idea why you would need to replace both doors and door hinges? |

Re: ZR-1 Door Mystery
I agree, but it seems odd that it's only the doors that were damaged but everything else appears to be original to the car. You would think the hood would have been replaced too.

Re: ZR-1 Door Mystery
Dealers sometimes would change things so the dumbest reasons many things could have happened

Re: ZR-1 Door Mystery
Doors are appendages on cars that are often opened outward and that?s the extremity furthest out into harms way. I can think of several instances I have witnessed in the past where the doors were hit because they were open at inopportune times.

Re: ZR-1 Door Mystery
Just throwing out ideas...could the red you're seeing be a primer of some kind and not paint?

Re: ZR-1 Door Mystery
Does it have the factory stickers on the doors? I would take it to a body shop vs a mechanic.... two different types of expertise. check the bottoms of the doors for paint runs, drips...

Re: ZR-1 Door Mystery
I would pull the door panels to confirm the red paint and start digging for answers.
