Paul64 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi, Is the box section at the front of the rear wheel arch on a defender simply rivited in? It looks like it from the outside as there are a row of external rivets. Or is that just the outer skin? The reason I ask is that I can see some rust on the inside close to and including the rear seat mounting bracket. Looks like it will need changing soon, but not sure if it is a welding job? The lower door seal looks well worn and I can imagine water and muck has crept in and up that panel. Cheers, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 those angled line of rivets just secure that panel to the bodyframe, the bit of the frame is part of the vehicles sideframe & can be repaired by welding in new steel, mine was done about 2 years ago.

Paul64 Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Thanks Ralph, I will need to give my mate rejo a call. The welding jobs are beginning to mount! Maybe it's time to to invest in a welder. Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
