Defender door repair - WELDING Land Rover DEFENDER doors
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- I'm welding my Land Rover Defender doors, the 2nd row doors, and It's the first time I'm welding with sheet metal. So I am a amature welder but the result turned out pretty good and I hope it can inspire others to try and weld theirs own doors.
I'm welding with a Lincoln Electronics Speedtech 200c, wich has been working great so far. I'm learning by doing so the welds are getting better for each time I weld.
FIRST OVERLAND TRIP in the DEFENDER:
• Overlanding in Norway ...
Enjoy and throw down a comment if you have some insight or ideas for other videos. More to come in 2020.

Thank you for making this video! I just bought a very rusty '85 Land Rover 110 Defender with the same door rust problem. I do want to make a suggestion! YOU MAY MAKE A PAPER or CARDBOARD STENCIL of the Rusted Out area and then use your Stencil to lay on top of the 22 gauge metal sheet that you have. I took a class in Metal Shop in 7th grade and learned how to make metal boxes and how to spot weld and how to use a drill press and other metal cutting tools. I recently bought a Mig welder and cannot wait to dig into the process of fixing up all my rusty cars. Thank you again and best of Luck with your ROVER.
Hey and congrats with the “new” car 👍😊 I know, I got some tips about that later and have seen some videos where they do that and that’s a great tip for other going ahead with welding sheet metal. 👌 Sadly I sold the Defender, was getting so rusty that it was getting a bit more than my skill could handle. Sold it to a guy in the Land Rover club who has fixed it up nicely. 👍 Thank you for sharing and I’m very glad you liked the video. 😊 Welding is very fun and I will do it more this winter to make stuff for my Discovery 3 build. Wish you good luck with your project. 👍
nice great
am going repeat all of this
👍😊 Good luck! It’s so much fun to do it your self and such a good feeling when it’s done and working. 👌
Nice work, first time fabulous 👌 it gets easier as you go , that was a good challenge to put on video for the diy guys and gals at home for a confidence building thing , it's a rewarding skill welding and fabricating you won't regret learning this at all ,good luck and good health 🍺😀
Thanks Gary, appreciate that. 😊 I think metal work is on of my favorite things to do in the garage, something special about making things out of plane metal. I love the fact that I now can fix almost everything on the car my self. I have still much to learn but it part of the fun. I can't count the number of welding videos I saw before I did my first weld. 😊 Next thing is to fix the rear cross member, a bigger job and a more serious welding job. Need to do my homework before that one. Thanks for the support and hope you and yours are safe! Best, Simon
Great work Simon
Thanks Børre. 👍😁 Fun and learning a lot. 😊
Using clamps setting the new metal place onto the door, will make it easier and free both your hands for measurement and general fitting. Another idea, could be using a metal grinder to cut out the new piece of metal, so the edges dont get so bend compared to using the metal scissor. Just some ideas, im not telling what too do, as you are doing great. :-) Well done :-)
Thanks for the tips, I'm learning a lot as I'm doing this and advice and shared experiences is what I'm going on. I saw some magnet holders that I will try out next time. I have bought some extra metal clamps since this video was filmed so have some extra now. I thinking of getting a metal cutter of some kind, but I will test out the grinder next time. 😊 Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching! Best, Simon
Well done. I have the same to do in my TD5 90 some time in the future. I am also a beginner in these things but you are already way ahead of me. Did you MIG weld the door frame, or was it stick welding?
Thanks! 😊 I just watch a lot of welding videos and did some practice welding. You can see some of them in ruclips.net/video/Hlk_ynBUXzg/видео.html. I used MIG welding with gas, I learned after all the videos that MIG was the best for car restoration. MIG is a lot cleaner than stick, and handles impurities better than TIG. 😊 Just get started welding, that's my biggest tip. It's fun an so rewarding. If you have any more questions just ask, I'm not a pro but know some stuff.
Love the music for this kind of video :-)
Glad you liked it! I try to make the music a part of the video and set the tone right. 😊 Spend sooooooo much time finding the right music and you pointing it out just made my week. 😊 Thanks, Simon.
Great video, nice to see how you turn rust into shiny metal again :-D since my Range Rover classic, i know how hard it is to bend the metal in the right shape that it fits good. Well done.
Thank you Daniel! :) This was on of my most rewarding fixes on the Defender. Something special about fixing it from just a sheet of metal. I have much to learn about fabrication and beding metal, but I can't wait to do some more welding. Was there a lot of things needed welding on the RRC? I have seen some videos of them and read forums, some are pretty bad. 😊
@@LandRoverDrive Yes, a lot of. The chassis was in a perfect condition but the body had a lot of rust. I welded both front foot floor and both fenders, after that I thought was finish, but the rear end of the body was also bad, trunk floor and the rear fenders, this was the point where I gave up and sold it. 🙄
But years later a want a RRC V8 what an awesome car, but rust free and in good condition you have to pay 20000 € at least. 😀
Using card templates would make your job easier.
Great videos, keep it up.
Thanks for the tip. I have seen them using templates and will definitely try that out next time. 👍😁 I think this is on of the favorite things I have fixe on my Land Rovers, welding and metal work is really fun and rewarding. 😊
good work. keep healthy there in Norway
Thanks man! 👍😊 And stay safe! Hopefully it will be normalized by summer. 🤞
Good job well done
Thank you so much 😀 I'm learning by doing and I found out I really like metal work. Thanks for watching! Best, Simon
Well done dude! 👍
Thank you so much! 😊😊
Mate, would love to join you guys for an adventure some day!!!
Excellent! I have some fabrication work coming up. It feels like a huge job so I like how you break it down into little steps. Makes it seem less dangerous :-) Stay safe!
Thanks a lot! I was hoping it would inspire others to just start. I was reluctant to start on this job but then one day I figured that the only way I would learn was to just do it. 😊 And learning is part of the fun of Land Rover ownership. 😅 I’m no expert but if you have Emanuel questions just ask. 👍
Så nice!!!
Jag ska göra samma på mina dörrar!
:) Utrulig tilfredstillende å sveise inn nytt metal. Jeg hadde ingen sveise erfaring fra før så at det ble så bra som det ble er morro. Var veldig tynt metall så var vanskelig å sveise, brente hull flere ganger, spesielt der det var rustet litt tynnere en orginalt. Jeg sier bare lykke til og blir spennede å se det på kanalen din. ;)
@@LandRoverDrive ja, det är vanskligt å svetsa i tunn plåt! Det blev bra i alla fall!
Finnes ikke body parts ?
Hey, jo det finnes rammer som du kan kjøpe ferdig også "reskin" den nye ramma med den gamle aluen. Jeg ville lære meg å sveise og fant ut at dette var tidspunktet for å starte. 👍🙂
before I watched this, an electric car advert came on. Does RUclips really know what's going on in the videos?
Not sure, maybe because the content is made in Norway and EV is big here. 🤔
Check out Brittanica Restorations you tube channel. He's an English guy (Mike) living in Canada and he does all sorts of Land Rover repairs. He has just done a footwell replacement in which he shows how to make and use templates when doing metal fabrication and bending sheet metal. Im sure watching Mikes videos will help you a lot.
I would say he is the best you tuber for Land Rover do it yourselfers there is. Please do yourself favour and have a look. All the Best and stay safe.
Hey Paul, I will check it out. I need to do some footwell repair during next winter. 😊 Thank you and stay safe! 👍 Best, Simon
that intro is way too long, please don't feel you are hiding yourself
Hey Christopher and for the feedback. I have dropped that intro a while back. Now my videos are more to the point. 👍😊 Not sure what you mean about hiding my self? 🤔
