Rear Door - Worth Saving?

maxw · Jul 12, 2013

Hi,

After sorting some earting issues on my defender I've just been looking further into the rust on my rear door.

Here's some photos of the rust:

So - do people think it's worth repairing? I can probably get a mate to do a bit of welding on it but I'm not sure how much work it would be! I dont want to buy some expensive repair panels & find that it still isn't right etc.

Also - a friend said that due to the corrosion on the outside face - it may not ever look good, do you think this is true?

What do you guys think?

Cheers

Just had a peek £59 for front door skin isn't too bad!!

I wished I was able to source the front outer wing skin, the upper part that bends around the front of the light panel.
