Jb weld?
How strong is jb weld? I had the top hinge for my drivers door rust off and was hoping it would be a decent temporary substitute and hold the hinge in place and allow me to open and close the door until I can get to the junk yard and cut out a new a-pillar

You don't need an entire new A pillar either. Just weld a new hinge in.

Need to cut the top hinge section out on mine and redo it at some point. One of the previous owners welded the hinge back on at some point and obviously had no idea how to weld lol

Mine looks exactly like that, just hasn't ripped off yet. Am looking for a solution also, although I'm not sure what the sheet metal under the hinge/weld looks like :\
