problem with doors was rusty, rusty and old very poor repair,

and second problem doors from Austin 10, have different size,

and here is my idea - doors cut into seven pieces and build new doors,

becouse I dont know how buy or make pair Tilly doors.

Maybe buy one more Austin Tilly....

I am pleased that you are interested in my work !

Tom
