Rear door

The rear door of the Rover is a one piece unit.  And it is in bad shape, crooked as a dogs hind leg.  A patch was attempted, with steel rivets btw.  The spare tire hanger is bent and its got a fair bit of rust in the frame.


 I started stripping the door by removing the rear lock. A few of the nuts were rusted on so out came the penetrating oil again.  


Once I had the lock out I took it apart and cleaned it up.  The galvanized bits had been painted over so I will run them through the degreaser and use some paint stripper to get them cleaned up.



Once that was all cleaned up, I proceeded with taking out the glass.  Had to drill out a few of the rusted screws but eventually it came out.
