Rear door probs

Post by ding-dang-dhu »

Hi,

Can anyone advise me. I have a badly rusted rear door at the bottom. Its come away from the main door, the vents have rusted away. The door works fine and locks well enough.

Should I get the bottom ground off and a plate welded on or should I get a complete new door. If its a new door, can the locks be changed so Its my old one the van.

Does that make any kind of sense?
