Cab door repair

Hi paradox yes it just helps the phosphate go further and eats the rust away and then it leaves a good finish for etch primer

 

I wish id known that was available when i started all my tinware
It would have saved me loads of wire wheels and time

 

Womball - phosphate and brick acid?? When you've finished your excellent door repair article you wouldn't care to do one on this alchemy of yours would you?

 

Have you done much more on this - you can do mine next

 

This is the door cleaned and painted,The grey stuff you see is pu18 its better than tiger seal and cheaper, this is so that you can stick the door skin to the inside bars and this will stop the panel skin from flexingJust sanded wrere the glue will go to help grip the skin
Next the door skin is fitted but not welded yet, i will let the glue go of first be for trying to move the door for welding as i do'nt want the skin to move .
will show tomorrow as had to go in for dinner but it was nice .

 

Brilliant.

Did I hear you say you wanted another couple of doors to practice on

 

fantastic work womball!! planning on doing mine soon, now i have the new welder up and running,
and have been wondering how i was going to do some of the more fiddly bits... didnt even need to ask and bang, there it is.. i love TLB.
definitely watching with interest, and will post up some pics of my effort when i get to this job on the list.

top marks for a great thread!!

 

so here it is finished
A before and after
So i hope this helps someone its only cost £55 with door skin and pu glue, some metal. so have a go its cheaper than a second hand and alot cheaper than a new door.

 

top work dude! thanks for the thread

 

Thanks to redoxide sending me a door skin for the other side, so next door it is wow how about that for some filling 1/2" thick

 

Really interesting thread, our doors are shot and had been advised to buy dry state doors so was searching that on here, now to learn to weld

 

Thanks very much cheaper than buy dry state doors

 

You really could do some business with repairing doors you know. Maybe something to think about considering how many people are requesting repairs? Great work fella!!

 

Awesome, this should be a sticky.

 

Inspirational

 

Hi m8 I have thought about it, do you think people would buy them .I thought are a bit funny over repaird doors they think there not as good as dry state doors

 

Answer is ermmmmm yeah!! Lol
I'd have had a pair off of you easy!! Especially when you can see the work that goes into them in this thread. Firstly I'd rather have an original door even if it had been repaired. Your work is quality and can tell you that if you were to price reasonably people would buy these doors rather than fork out on new patent ones. Give it a go, you've nothing to lose. Do three pairs of doors and watch them fly out on here. What does everyone else think about this idea?? Feedback required please

 

Oh and remember me when it all works out for you as I could do with some work on mine

 

I might give it a go if there is enough interest

 

It would depend on cost but i need a door repaired
