Repairing door bottoms, 2 door.

Post by laneychief »

Having done a lot of work on my car and got it MOT'D next job is preparation for spraying, during my other restoration jobs I noticed the door bottoms are in dire need of some attention. I've seen repair panels for these, and I'm pretty confident with my welding now.

My questions are, has anybody attempted this repair and can they possibly show me some pictures? Like to get it going soon to keep me busy....haha!


Thanks in advance.

Ah good!

That was really helpful!

Probably start this job soon before I get too scared, wimp out and don't do it!

I find Phil's DVD's a bit too rough and ready in their approach, although this is one of the better ones. Haven't done my doors yet, but I like the look of the panel bonding technique on here in Barrie's Project by Westy24. Sorry, haven't worked out how to copy the link to a thread......
