video on the basics on how to fix cargo doors with the most basic cheapest tools you can get. It did work the doors work decent. I may redo it a second time with better tools. The goal was to make the doors work again so the storage shed had doors.
Thought the video might help others if you have any positive comments or positive suggestions write below. thanks

I have two tricks for fixing cargo doors that are way easy.

1) four bolts per door. Buy a nicer door and bolt it on.

2) if the rest of the bus is also rusty, sell the bus and buy a nicer one.

Posts like this are really starting to irk me.. If someone asked for help it's one thing, but to go out and self promote your YouTube videos is like begging for attention or hoping for money to come in from your YouTube channel. I'm seeing more and more of this. Looking at this person's post history, they are trying to make money cluttering up the forums with their videos.
Sorry had to get that off my chest... Carry on.

Erb, that is literally some of the most garbage sheet metal welding I've ever seen.

how much, and what kind of drugs are you taking? None of your "work" should be on youtube.

So would a positive comment be something like "you should absolutely positively not look to Erb's videos for restoration advice"?

I came in here, read the comments and thought to myself. Alright my work quality is not in the same ballpark as Sled so maybe they are just breaking this guys balls and I can offer some positive advice. *watching video…

I mean, are you just messing with us?
If not this is a good opportunity to ask some advice, cut it out and try again?

I'm not as neat and tidy as I wish I was but why would anyone weld over rust? Also "neat and tidy" make for the best videos Wink
