Defender Door Repair Part?

[Chilly]

Hi,

Just repairing my Defender Front Door. Full of rust.

I require the bottom frame. Can you buy this part here in Australia?

Rear door part here on Ebay....

LAND ROVER SERIES 2 3 FRONT DOOR BOTTOM REPAIR SECTION DEFENDER 90 110 REAR DOOR | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LAND-ROVER-SERIES-2-3-FRONT-DOOR-BOTTOM-REPAIR-SECTION-DEFENDER-90-110-REAR-DOOR-/251129234400?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a787803e0#ht_1390wt_1271)

Thanks,

Chilly

I just got a couple from paddock spares for 6 pounds each.

Did you have much trouble with the fold in the skin getting it back into place?

I've done repairs on series (few years back now).
Got my repair sections from Four Wheel Drives, Blackburn Victoria .
Only unfold what you have to (bottom & curved section), just loosen sides a little and slide off, I think I used a wide wood chisel to do this - bit easier on a series as only half a door and not much sealer used.
Any sheetmetal shop should be able to make you a section but will probably cost more

6 pounds each also sounds like a steal.

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies.

I have the door skin off and just need the section.
Have to get the repairs done this week to meet Blue slip deadline or I have to pay again.
Hence asking if there are any in Australia....quicker delivery.
I'll try fwd in Melbourne tomorrow and see if they have any.

Cheers,

Chilly

Sorry Chilly, I only ordered the part yesterday.... I've been putting it off because the rest of the rig is in the shed getting fixed (the doors are leaning on the wall at the moment) so no i havn't tried to repair them yet.

6 pounds does sound like a steal! especially when i saw them for like 25 and more!

Has anyone had to fix around the anti-burst (or whatever they call the door lock bit on a series 3) the steel frame there has rusted a bit - someone tried to do a bog job before I got the car but the rust has spread further. Don't know if they missed some of the rust or it's just re-formed. Any tips tricks would be much appreciated.

I bought new door skins off paddocks, far cheaper than new doors, but I must get around to fitting them up.

Can you borrow a couple of good doors until after your blue slip?

I reckon you could cut it out, measure it up and take to some metal folder to get it folded into that top hat section, and rivet plates to it if time is your enemy; surely it can't be that hard. Or if you have access to a mig welder, tack weld the flat section to the back of the top hat section that I bet you can but as a standard size :) Sounds like I've been thinking about it too, eh? I've got two doors in dire need of it and 2 others that most likely need it and the rear door as well :(
