That's pretty interesting - I just picked up my 88 Westy from the body shop
yesterday. I had been side-swiped a few weeks ago, and the shop told me the
front passenger door needed to be either re-skinned or replaced. When I got
it home I had to open and close that door for some reason and instead of the
usual "PINNGG" sound -- it was more like "THUNK"! Now it make a little more
sense :)
