HELP!!



Has anyone here got any bright ideas how i can bodge (repair) this?


Mark.



87 RR V8 EFI.

Remove it and stick a sheet of polythene over the hole?

I get the feeling that tail gate is just a tad beyond 'bodgability'.

Sorry mate, looks like you will have to bite the bullet

PLEASE, this is a Land Rover NG.

As above, but use Chequer Plate.

Sorry, I'm so used to polythene as the standard fitment for broken glass round here....

Alex

It looks like its getting a bit past repairing - You have to draw the line somewhere!. Have you tried getting a second hand one from the scrap yard or a breakers?

Looks to me like Mr Angle Grinder is going to have to come out. Strip it back completely cut out all the rust and weld a new tailgate in.

Damn serious and long job but do it properly and it will last years.
