THANKYOU . CALE

Hey Gang,  Let me try to explain my problem...I think Craig already knows roughly.
The VANPIRE has got a bad rear hinge problem. Before I rebuilt the van someone has tried to get the rear barn doors off but has gone for the easy option of cutting through the arm of the hinge...taking the doors off or replacing ...then welding the cut arms of the hinges back together. Very Bad. When I did all body mods ,rust and paint etc years back I didnt see a big problem in the hinges apart from one door sits a little higher than the other. Now over the years of opening the doors, cracks in the welds of the hinges have appeared. It has got to the stage were if I open the back doors one more time they will FALL OFF !. Hence one of the reasons why you havnt seen VANPIRE on the road for a while. Obviously the fool that cut the hinges has had problems getting the hinges off. Does anyone have any suggsestions how I can weld cast or replace hinges without buying a fibreglass rear from Ben (very tempting) and trying to colour match metalflake aarrrrhgghh. I dont want to hurt her too much but probably dont have too many options. Thanks in advance. Cale
