Title: rusted doors
Post by: phil88 on 22 March 2007, 13:31: back from uni and have started stripping my car down, thought id start on a door, only to find that the previous owner had basically built up the corner of the door. looks like it has been pushed in at one point, and theres rust coming though

ive found two doors for Ã‚£40, but their the full window rather than the quarter door. the other door seems ok, and im quite up for getting a welder and learn to do all that. got the car for Ã‚£0 so im prepared to do mess with it. do you think the door is repairable? how much new metal will i need?

Thanks, phil
