The passenger side door repairs are complete, the primer coat has been applied and the door hangs ready for paint. The drivers side door has been removed and is ready for sandblasting.
A 100 pound bag of sand was used to sandblast the drivers door. A few areas were exposed that need welding, one of which is circled on the right side of the photo.
Here is a close-up.
Using a pointed burr grinder the rusted area was removed then the hole was trimmed as shown.
A sheet metal patch was cut and held in place with a magnet.
The sheet metal is too thin for a continuous weld so a series of tack welds were used instead.
Additional tack welds were added until the entire area was welded.
Using a thumb sized burr grinder the crowns of the tack welds were removed.
A sanding disc was used for final feathering of the repair.
Next I get to tackle this.
Wish me luck.
Post Script Picture:
Repairs were made followed by a coat of JB Weld to fill the nooks and crannies.
