[MBZ] Welding driver's door check [was Re: Continued off topic]

[BillR]

That is the spot.  Mine was cracking out from the corners. I did it the easy
way - took it to an auto body shop I use.  They welded and repainted it for
me gratis [but I am a regular customer].  Guy sanded to bare metal and
welded up the cracks, then painted the area [not a great paint job, but also
not exactly visible most of the time]. The price was right.

1981 300SD  EM  276k, and now with a solid door check bracket.

The bracket in the door frame that holds the driver's door check is loose on
my car. I presume that that is what you're welding.

So how does one do the welding?
