Door before being stripped of rust and filler |
Original bottom door hinge had been welded to the closing panel and had to be cut off |
The bottom hinge mounting had to be repaired as the original was past saving |
Front closing panel welded in place with new hinge bolted on |
Trial fit of the lower inner closing panel |
A view from inside showing both front and lower panels and lower hinge support |
Inside view of rear and lower closing panel. I decided to joggle this panel to make the corner stronger |
There are a few tack welds to hold everything in place so I can have a trial fit on the car to see if things align up properly. I will do the same with the rear door and the align the door skins as a pair to match the front and rear wings.
More to follow...
Moving along nicely Colin, a good feeling knowing you have solid metal replacing rust. Your repairs are looking professional :)
