The other three are badly rusted in the bottoms but are otherwise straight. One has had a different winder installed.

Am I thinking there might be some grafting together coming up?

My Molasses bath is beginning to pay dividends, I just need a spare day to clean them up.

Great job there Jack, that is some serious fiddly work but I'm sure the end result will be well worth the effort.

First I unpicked the good door skins from the rusty doors. A pinch bar worked the best.

The skins were just cut off these two doors which were picked for having the best inner frames.

The best tops and bottoms of the inner frames were cut out and will be rejoined and reskinned when I have them all either sandblasted or derusted in the electrolysis bath. This is what I ended up with. The second photo shows what I had to compare with.
