whats the average price of welding a door hinge? i've shopped around there are shops that charge waaay off the wall. from 250 per side to 25 per side. so is 25 a fair price or anyone think it should be lesser than that?

 

you can't get anything for $25 anymore. I would def. do it as long as the work is quality. i doubt you will get it any cheaper than $25 a side unless you find a buddy with a welder.

 

i get cha.

 

i still haven't give up searching. this shop is doing it for $40 dollas. and i will drop it off tomorrow. i'll post how it turn out.

 

here's the pictures of the door hinges that i promise to post. it doesn't look all that good but at least i don't have to deal with that popping sound anymore. (i hope)
notice the driver side already chipped out. the passenger side looks better than the driver side and is more stable. 20 dollas per side- you can't ask for better.

 

you cant beat 20 bucks but thats some pretty dodgie welding

 

i woudl be scared to let that body shop do any sort of body work that required welding on my car .. eesh.

 

yeah i know it look like ****. but i don't want to put in too much money in cars that i don't like. its just my daily beater for now.

LOL, you can't imagine worse!

 

Was perhaps the shop you went to called The Zoo, because it looks like a monkey welded that.

 

MAn thats gonna rust so bad after the first rain, because you cant get paint underneath those blobs

 

yeah its ok, this EF won't be with me for long. reason why i got it was i needed a car right away and it was cheap. i don't hate this car but i don't like it. but i would never pick a domestic over an import. bottom line.

come on tony... y u gotta bash my weld like that... lol

i was actually gonna say the same thing... i dont think u can get much worse... but hey... if ur happy with it... and it holds up... more power to u

 

Damn Tom, i'm sorry, i had no idea you did that. Do you want me to edit my post?

 

god thats some half assed welding...

 

I think 20 bucks for **** like that is too expensive.

 

This has to be a joke. I couldn't **** up a weld that bad no matter how hard I tried.

 

and why do you do this?

 

I've seen newbies with like 20 mins welding experience make a better bead than that.

you could have done it better if you did it yourself..
hell, JB Weld would probably be stronger (count the weld faults... wait the whole thing is a weld fault.)

 

the thing is that the hinge is not attached to that sheet metal, its broken underneath that. its not welded there from the factory.

one thing that pisses me off about the 88-91 chassis.

 

dont really even class that as welding, looks like a bird flew over and shat all over it

 

Some of the worst welding ive ever seen. If it holds, then . Shoulda just had a friend weld it or something. I don't think I would have payed for that.

Yager-

 

I saw an episode of MacGyver where he welded better than that with an old car battery, some jumper cables and a few quarters.
