Mk2 panel van doors are essentially mk1 coupe doors with the mk2 release mechanism on the inside, so the door cards are unique I'd say.

Yes, that's true.  Checked with my mate, he has a spare set of doors for the van but wont sell them.  Also has a huge collection of mark 1 and mark2 sedan parts- motors gearboxes, diffs ,springs,  front struts,  steering racks, 13" wheels, particularly 2 sets of steel rims with alloy centres, chrome mark 1 bumpers and over riders. interior trim etc.    If he could find someone to make a reasonable offer as a lot  he would load up his truck and deliver the stuff to them.  he was so pissed off with people messing him about trying to get stuff for free or making silly offers he ended up sending a complete 4door RS to the scrap man!

I thought it was funny so many CF mags popped up on ebay, within a week or so or receiving my bargains from you Whooligan. Just coincidence I hope. Seller was out west.

I know how he feels. What is it with people these days, offer something for a dollar and people want it for 50c.

Back when I was peddling parts, people did their research, knew what things were worth and paid a fair price. That way you had respect for each other and no one walked away feeling cheated. I got so much repeat business this way and had access to really good stuff with a single phone call.

Now days, everyone is out to screw you down on price and then on sell it rather than help people out. I gave a complete exhaust to someone to get them thru a RWC and the next week I saw it on ebay for $100! F@#k me! Profiteering from charity....utter scum.

I know of an RS 2dr crushed earlier this year due to same sort of idiots. 

seriously, that sucks bigtime, especially when your trying to find one.

Getting a bit off topic but I'll chuck in my 2c worth... Shows like american pickers and the like have a lot to answer for, I don't ask a mint for parts it's more about helping people out and making contacts for other bits. I'm pretty stone faced nowadays, quibble over a few bucks or ask me what my best price is and I'll add fifty bucks, you should see the look on peoples faces, theres been plenty of awkward moments standing there on the driveway, 'take it or leave it'...
