Welding a Mercedes T1 Door | Fulltime Vanlife UK

🚐 - Welding a Mercedes T1 Door | Fulltime Vanlife UK
In this weeks video I head up to the Peak District to do some welding on a Mercedes 208D Camper. Although the amount of rust that I found was crazy, would it have been better to buy a new door?

Always wear Safety Glasses when working 😉 I think it would be easier if you used gas with your mig, easier on car bodywork. Great fabrication, practice makes permanent.👍

Defo would be for sure and I did my whole restoration using one, only reason I have a gasless now is space and weight in the van, my new one weighs 6kg and is about the size of a diesel heater! a small price to pay vs a big mig setup 👍

Nice one Max. Lovely bit of welding, especially as its not an easy bit to work on. Interestingly. How much do you reckon a new door would cost. I'm not going to say anything about the weather 😒 Take Care Mate 🙏
