      I'd replace the doors as well. Lots of work to fix those correctly.

        No offense to you Nate, but it's not a whole lot of work if you're used to doing it.


        If you lived closer and had a MIG welder I'd happily help you out with that.

            Sorry to see that happened to you, I didn't think your car was all that bad rust wise. My trunk lid looked like your door so I can relate.

              Believe it or not, but it only has one hole. lol.

              I sanded down and repainted then undercoated all but the spot with the hole in it, since I'll be doing that part in spring anways...

                When you repainted, did you take a lot of spots down to bare metal? I scuffed mine down pretty good into the pinkish high build. but I was afraid of what'd happen if I messed with the gray EDP primer coating. I figured it's lasted this long without rust?

                  It got past the primer in spots, that's what did it to the fenders.

                  I wanna get it repainted again next year, as long as I can get the money. I'm sick of my nice car being half primered.

                    Do you still have the winter beater Beretta?

                      Yep, still gots the Beretta... not so much a beater anymore though, got it all fixed up to a DD point, lol. And put some nice Eagle Alloy's and full exhaust on it, of course...

                      But I did get the exterior bodywork completed! Just need to spray it with some flat black and put my trim back on. I still need to do the inside of the door though, getting a dremel soon enough.

                        What's under the Bondo? It looked in earlier pics like the corners of the doors were just about gone.
