Did you strip off the cack E coat on the inside of the door skin??

Yup but used cheap metal paint which I suspect to be the problem no worry tho just have to waste some time shipping it back but does look like its going to fit a treat lol thanks for the advice before. Is it worth putting a few plug welds on the side of the skin to the frame ? If so where's best ?

looking good keep up the good work

Cheers bud I do try lol even when I look at some of the repairs I find it hard to believe this is my first go at it all. Just showes what you can learn on forums lol

[sonikk4]

Normally they come with at least four spot welds on the skin, a couple at the front and two at the back. I pop a couple in just to stop the skin from moving and then i seam seal the edge of the lip.

[hoody99]

That's what I thought lol

[hoody99]
