Title: Door in Boot
Post by: Figureman52 on 02 September 2016, 13:35:00: Can anyone tell me if a Omega saloon rear door will fit in an Omega saloon boot?

If so, is that with rear seats up or down?

Thanks.

Perfectly possible that once you've jiggled it in place, you might be able to bring the rear seats back up again. Though there was just the two of us, so no need to bother.

Back doors smaller, and so I'd say easily with back seats up. :)

And there are instances where the parts are smarter than driver: I collected a T9 gearbox with my sister's Mini. This meant unbolting the Capri(you can probably see a theme here) passenger seat, to stand the gearbox in the footwell. Half a roll of duct tape 'held' the seat and gearbox in position for the drive home. What I should have done is unbolted the bellhousing, and put the gearbox in the boot.
