ponnyj Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I know this sound bizzare. But at work we have a 130 tipper. 05 reg. the rear door was scratched a few months ago right to bare metal. It is now brown and rusty?????!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yes the 2002-on rear doors are skinned in steel. Same as the other doors on later models and I believe the bonnets too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splandrovers Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 There are brand new galvanised frame rear doors for sale on on a large online auction site that marine bond the aluminum skin to the galvanised frame, aswell as prime inside and outside of skin before fitting to frame. These will never rust probably outlast the vehicle itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwazyWabbit Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Mine didn't lasted 3 months and the metal in the frame cracked N. To be fair it's amusing how well this stunt of theirs has back fired, I had been considering one of their doors when I get around to replacing my somewhat rotten one. But after hearing of your experience Nidge I'll be going elsewhere. Cheers for letting the forum know, I don't suppose you have any pictures of the failed door?
