I have rust. need advice, bottom of doors - pic Options

[Batman722]

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 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 ?? ??

well to answer your quesrtion you have 2 choices. 1 you can get a new door or 2 you can fix it. if you chose nuber two all i have to say is i hope you can weld. you will have to get some exyra metal to use to do patch work sand down that part of the door take the welder and cut out the really bad rust area, as in where is is though the metal and can't be sanded off. Once the rust area is cut out you will need to weld the new metal into place to replace what was cut out. Then after the metal is replaced you need to sand/grind the metal down smooth so it matches the door and not all crapy looking once this is all done you have to prime and paint the area or the whole door if you want. Basically it all depends on what you want to do...Also in the pics it looked like the rust ate away part of your door that is what the welding and crap it for, it the rust is only on the surface of the metal and not eating though the metal yet you can sand/grind it off and then just spot paint it when your done
