Cracked rear door

[AndrewPatrol]

Anyone know a good panelbeater in the northern burbs of melbourne to fix my rear barn door (spare). Just found cracks in it. Only ever carried the standard wheel on it too. insert word beginning with F yelled very loud.

just take it to a fabricaion joint get em to either mig it or tig it up:) then grind it down a bit , whack a bit of bog on it to smoothen it up prim it paint it bobs ya uncle

wish it was that easy Matt. One of the cracks is near the glass of the rear door. Its a GU. So the glass has to come off. Maybe I'll just take it too a windscreen joint and get them to take it off and weld it myself. Thought someone might know a cheap easy way.

quick fix would be to rub it back with wire brush run then run some rust eating acid:) and use metal fill<good stuff has stainless in it so stronger then normal bog then rub that down flush prime it rub it again and paint it quick fix

good job would to just get a glass guy out and pop it take the mold to other wise you'll end up burning it

id use .6 wire turned down on the mig specailly the new cars im sure the bodys seem to get thinnerr and thinner then just run a 100grade sanding disc over it make it look beautiful prime it paint it and what not

dont use arc defently burn right throught it

that why i got a mig makes things eiaser to weld when its thinner

or get a new door off creative conversions in bris $300 and they may have your colour ..post might cost a bit though

[matthewK]

300 bucks wow thats expensive fix

hehe just tig it dude if it not a big crack it wont take long it may end up worping just use small amount of bogging to even it up,

Mine cracked, I had it welded up and it cracked near the weld again - piece of poo, So ive just left it, One day I will pull it apart and get a gusset or brace welded on the inside. Or cut it into a duel cab
