That workshop was a greenhouse in his early days, too bad it isn't mine....
I have repaired the driverside doorhinge pocket, it opens and closes now.
I have grind a whole part out of the door, because I thought it was in a very bad shape. It was bad, but not too bad.
For me this was the easiest way to make a repair, and get a good look inside the door. The PO had allready made repairs to the underside, this is very rough, but solid.
I made a patch from 2mm thick steel, that follows the shape of the backside of the hingepocket.
I tackwelded it in the part of the door and testfitted it on the hinge
It fits
After welding it completely (sorry no pics) I welded it back into the door.
I haven't made pics of the finished product, forgot about that...
Next was mounting the door and set the gaps, it's not easy!!
What I find is that you have to slam the door shut to get it into it's "second" lock. I've tried almost everything to get it to close softly, but that aint gonna work.
Tips regarding to this are most welcome!!
When I got the truck, the doors wouldn't close at all, so one point for me!!
The truck came also without any keys, is this a keynumber on the lock?
Can I go to a keymaker with this number and he or she can make me new keys??
