Hi All,
I have a '92 XJ with 170K miles on it. The front door hinges are welded to the body. On my driver's side door, on the upper hinge, the vertial weld between the hinge (just where the bend is) and the body has cracked. Crack appears to be down the middle of the weld.
Has anyone had experience with re-welding this joint? I have a good MIG system and am considering trying to re-weld. Anyone know how thick the metal is on the body side of the weld (I need to know to set the MIG power so I don't blow through it)?
Thanks!
Mike
