Looking for door and side windows

Looking at picking up a '64 MINI project. The interior has been gutted and has no side windows or door windows. It has no mounts/tracks/slides anything.

I don't even know everything I need and two I don't know where to get this stuff. Fixed rear windows are fine they don't need to slide. As for the doors I don't care if they are roll up or period specific slides.

Any one know a good source for these?

So door windows and quarterlight windows? I had a devil of a time finding a quarterlight window for my '73 ... finally found someone that bought a parts car and was parting it out. That's your best bet. I've also seen the quarterlights on eBay.

As for the door windows ... I have roll-up windows, and had a glass shop make a set since the glass is totally flat. $200 total IIRC. I just had to supply one window that they could use as a pattern.

Cheers,
Jeff

Thanks that helps. I am thinking of sourcing 2 used doors as I need all the glass and hardware. Are there variances between the mk2 ('64) and newer when it comes to the doors? More specifically to the dimensions of the glass, position of handles, rails, etc

watch Seven's used parts list - even worth giving a call as things turn over fast

today they have door glass - roll up and a quarterlight listed. I've seen door rollup mechanism there b4... and doors

Hi there, I have 2 fixed rear windows that you can have. I put in rear quarter windows last year. You would have to buy new rubber though. I don't know where you are located, so shipping them to you could be a problem. Not sure though. CHEERS.

Any reason that these *** spec 1990 rover doors wouldn't fit a LHD US MK3?

Thanks. Well I'm going to have to do body work regardless I think. The car just has the skins (I think in the UK they call them competition skins) no door/door frames. See pics. So unless someone has another way to mount glass (or plastic) I have to source some used doors. See pic

FYI -- a pair of venting quarterlight windows.

thanks, will take a look. Might prefer fixed ones, since the car has no rear seat.
