| | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | I used some sheet metal to repair that area on my doors. Just cut the rust out and welded in new metal. This was the area where the lower weatherstripping mounts. There are repair panels but unless you need to do the very bottom of the door you may be able to do what I did instead. I may have some pics I can send you it you need them | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | good luck with the fit. Much has been said about it....don't get me started  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 71 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 71 | What is currently recommended to smooth the area after welding on the new panels? Lead or plastic filler?

With the heat needed to do lead work, even the old body guys prefer to reserve it for those areas that have enough angles or curves to give them good resistance to warpage.
