OK the situation is I have rust on the bottom of my doors. More on the driver's side than the pass side. On the driver's side it has eaten away some of the bottom of the door frown.gif The pass side isn't that bad, just surface. I am not one who has body work but I know some basics. Is this fixable by me or should I get a new door or have a shop fix it ?? confused.gif ??

When i bough my Celica 4 years ago it was even worse than yours already (perforation had begin) - I didn't want to repair this myself so I went to a good body shop that sanded all the bottom and placed a metal sheet all the way down and repainted the door (flawless).

4 years later, this patch still holds on still I can see small surface rust spots showing. My car has anti-rust oil treatment each year and i put heavy grease
on the bottom of the door. I guess its just the way it is.... winter here is horrible (salt, sand, snow ice)
