If I was to get my hands on a set of MK1 doors would they straight onto Stud or would they need modification?

Thanks in advance.

Would it not be as straight forward as drilling holes in your old doors and A panels and using mark 1 hinges?

Yeah it should work if you can get the hinges bolted up on the inside of the door!

What Minis have you?: Mk1 Austin Mini,Mk3 Layland Mini,72Van,81 Clubman Estate, 87 Race carand a 2000 Rover Cooper.
Modifications: Mk1: 998 with flat top slipper pistons, 286 cam, 12G940 head 11:1 compression twin inch and a half SU's 5 speed gearbox. Mk3 998 automatic no mods, 72Van is a pile of rust, , Racer is being built but has the works and the 2000 rover cooper needs an engine again :(
Location: Dublin
Nope the two doors are totally different the MkI a Panel is different with stiffeners to hang the door on. The inner A and B post is different, also the door step is a different shape,
the windows and door lock Mechanism is different as well.
your seats will not work with MkI doors with out modification.

I is entirely possible to modify all these things but not with out needing to do some Painting paint.

It is also not possible to fit MkI hinges to an otherwise standard Mk III door with out considerably modifying to the inside.
