Defender door bottoms

Just replaced the drivers window regulator on Snowy Kerrrching, the doors
are past there best frames have a few cracks and the bottom rails are slowly
but surely becoming one with the environment again.

Has any one had any joy in splicing in new channel / box type section on
these doors, save me bolting chequre plate all over them for re-enforcement.

Yep, done quite a few of these, easy to do but made from two angles put
together as box but slid together to make a box with opposing edges sticking
out, one to fold the door skin round after welding, a bit different than
series doors which are top hat section with a sloping side. Slip some thin
polythene between before you fold over the door skin to stop the corrosion.

Yup, used some bits of an old bed frame that was the right sort of size
box section. Doesn't look pretty, but who looks at it?
