Need some opinions about this.. Got some pretty serious door rust on the bottom of both driver, and passenger doors.
Get new doors? Or repair them? |

My cars rusty as well on the doors, on the inside like right below the door panel.
About 2 years ago i took a dremel to it and grinded it off and sprayed a like thick rubber coating on it. It worked pretty good, but its starting to come back, I guess I gotta give it another round. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

you also want to make sure you also use a hardener mixed in with the resin or it will take a while

first
u need to took off all the rust from the door outside unbolt the door took it a part, (hardest is the wire) or keep the door wired, and put it upside down on some jack u will have to grind all the inside of the door whit the grinder until no more rust there make large pass, for a better job finish whit metal brush for the little hole but dont leave any rust, and cover whit any product u want ( putty, fiberglass...)
