Title: Door skins
Post by: Jesse Walter on March 09, 2010, 07:59:17 am

Has anyone here replaced a lower door skin and inner bottom panel?

My passenger side door has a good amount of rust on the bottom left corner.  Its not only on the outside its on the inside edge too.  I do have a brand new door but was thinking about fixing the old one.  The rest of the door is very nice.  I just didnt know if it would be worth it or not to fix this door.

I've just bought both lower door skins so will be doing them soon,should be pretty straight forward if the heat is kept to a minimum while welding.
