This is the only part of the jeep that needed some real metal work. The door strap that's a part of the hinge broke some time ago and allowed the door to swing too far. I didn't want to use fiberglass as the section is so thin.
I'm using an $80 stick welder from Amazon and 6011 electrodes. The only reason this worked is because the door inner is 16 or 14 gauge. The outer is thinner. I did end up blowing through the outer skin a few times, but overall I'm satisfied. Puddle, knock off the flux, grind, cool, repeat. Enough structure for POR15 and some bondo. It'll be nice and smooth.
