    Felt your pain when the bolt snapped and how quickly it escalated. Nice find with the replacement hinge.

      Thanks, Ive covered pretty much everything I have done to the cars and vans since I started the channel.
      Living in Dundee im sure you can relate to how challenging this can be at times with the lovely scottish weather

      Yeah, and that's just summer! I've got a decent sized garage too, so hopefully I'll squeeze it all in (currently in a storage barn). Do you have a build thread anywhere?

    Looks like you had fun with the hinge 😬. Glad you've got somewhere with it. I feel lucky because mine came out easy. I've just finished my door skins & I didn't enjoy it with trying to get the door to fit in the hole with the new skin on.

    Quite a tussle with the hinges. In my limited experience, the roll pins tend to break rather than wear out. Best wishes.
