Repairing damage on a '58 Volvo PV444 door
Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2018 10:54 pm
Hi,
I am currently restoring an old Volvo and while stripping it to bare metal came across a door that had significant amounts of bondo. While chipping and use a bernzomatic torch I finally got it cleaned. There are deep scratches in the metal looks to be grinder marks or something to maybe help hold the bondo? I am trying to learn to repair the door but have run into some areas I haven't been able to figure out. It wasn't a dent that could just be pushed out from the backside but I was able to work it out a bit. I still don't know how the door ended up in the condition it was as there was no significant impact visible. Made a video to help see it rather than write too much I have put the video link below. I appreciate advise on going forward. I will also have a video of the quarter panel repair needed as well but for now just the door.Thank you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQes9UQUwyI
