I have some rust damage around my driver's side door handle from when the car was broken into some years ago. Well, it's finally time to fix that so I can get the car painted. The question is, how much would this cost to get repair by a shop?




Or am I better off just going to picknpull and getting a new door and moving over some of the parts from mine? A good door can be hard to find though and still wouldn't be cheap.

 

i had the same dent around my tail light, i just dissasembled everything, mixed up a marine grade bondo and puttied it on and sanded it for a hour or so and got it looking like new with some primer. you just have to make sure you keep the bondo away from moisture when you apply it and sand the surface with the recomended grit.

good lucks!

 

The one thing I don't trust myself with though is body work though. Anyone know what a shop would charge for this?

 

im gussing around 200 bucks

 

theres lotsa metal there, thats an easy fix dude dont let it scare you.

sand it down, put some filler on with your finger sand it a bit primer it and paint it. hell touch up paint would prolly work. should repaint the whole door..

u might not even have to put filler in cause the rust doesnt look to bad, but it looks a little pitted.
