29-10-2006 >> Work on the 'new' rear door
 | p1030660.jpg (800 x 600) 29-10-2006 - Inside of the door, the bottom of the window frame. Now looking worse than before |
 | p1030662.jpg (800 x 600) 29-10-2006 - Made a replacement part, from the other rear door. |
 | p1030663.jpg (800 x 600) 29-10-2006 - Welded in place and grind-ed flat. |
 | p1030669.jpg (800 x 600) 29-10-2006 - Replacement part for the bottom of the door. |
 | p1030670.jpg (800 x 600) 29-10-2006 - Welded in place and grind-ed flat. |
 | p1030674.jpg (800 x 600) 29-10-2006 - Replacement part for the bottom of the door. |
 | p1030678.jpg (800 x 600) 29-10-2006 - Welded in place ... |
 | p1030680.jpg (800 x 600) 29-10-2006 - ... and grind-ed flat. |
 | p1030681.jpg (600 x 800) 29-10-2006 - Trial fitted the two doors. |
 | p1030683.jpg (600 x 800) 29-10-2006 - PANIC! Seen from the side, the door doesn't fit. On the left side, the door sticks out 4 - 5 mm. The door should be level with the rear of the car. |
 | p1030684.jpg (600 x 800) 29-10-2006 - After a lot of bending, grinding, welding and more bending and welding, grinding and un-bending, the door finally fits. At least, I think it will. |
 | p1030685.jpg (600 x 800) 29-10-2006 - Seen from the side, the door is completely flat with the Van. It's just that the right door isn't 100% flat. Maybe I should correct that, but I doubt I want to... |
 | p1030687.jpg (600 x 800) 29-10-2006 - The door from the inside. There have been quite a few cuts to aid in bending the door. With a bit of help from some plaster, I will be quite good. |
