No, I don't lick fish.
body line should be the same.... and you should be able to swap out the hinges - main difference will be the location of the latch
check out JP Magazine's door swap http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...e/viewall.html
took '97 xj doors and swapped them onto a '92 MJ... I'm seriously considering doing this because I'd like to have a full front window... didn't care at first, but when you have a really long arm, having to reach out of the window at drive-throughs and ATM's are slightly irritating.

read jp's.... just changed the doors body lines are exactly the same. Just swap your old hinges on to new door and relocate the striker on the body - according to JP, you should use the striker from the new doors, so make sure you grab that...
pics of JP's swap...
only thing really different, design wise, is the stamping on the inside of the door's frame

Either way, not a straight swap.
But if he's cutting them up anyway. I guess it doesn't much matter.
With enough finesse one could make Lambo doors work.
