weld or replace?

Post by Martipants »

Hello. Got a rusty sliding door. Who hasn't I know, but I thought some one might be able to give me the benefit of their experience in this tricky area. Basically it looks like I could get away with replacing the lower part of the door. Of course the alternative is to get a replacement door. Any ideas which is going to end up costing less?????

Oh yes, and why is everybody on here up in the night?
Thanks in advance...

They're not too hard to come by from scrappers, try CJ or Syncro-Nutz or any of the other traders breaking vans...

Only cheaper prob, if you weld it up yourself...

Thanks Harry. CJ is just down the road. Sounds like a good man to have on your side.
