Right on with the doors, both the drivers and the passenger side doors were in quite a bad way as with most landys but the previous owners of this particular one didn't seem to quite grasp vehicle maintenance, so as with the general vehicle condition they were especially bad. now i will admit beforehand that I'm not particularly proud of this bodge but it is the best i could do with what was left, the plan is to source some better condition doors once he's up and running, pictures are meant to paint a thousand words so here they are-
its hard to see i know but its just possible to make out how much has rotted of the bottom door frames in the above pic so to be clearer
new section on the left and old on the right
the aluminium skin has corroded pretty badly as mentioned
repair section fabricated which was welded to the rest of the remaining frame, the skin bent back around and a skim of filler
the same process was used on both doors but the rear door was beyond repair having sustained serious corrosion to both aluminium skin and steel frame, and the weight of the door mounted spair wheel cracking all the welds, rendering the door useless so a new one will be sourced later in the project along with a swing away wheel holder to help carry the hefty weight of the wolf wheel (more info later on them) thanks Sam
