Hey guys. I have some yummy rust that's turning into rot right where the rear passenger's door bolts to it. Rusting at both hinge mounting places. So my question for you guys, what can I do to repair it cheaply if possible?

my suggestion is remove door and hinge... grind rust off... use JB Weld to level the metal... sand it smooth ... then encapsulate it and paint it... hard to tell how bad it is with no pics.

I need pics to be able to tell you anything for sure. If you check out the thread for my LTD, I have pics of where it is just starting to rust on the bottom hinge mounting point of mine, inside the B-pillar behind the hinge's mounting plate. Not the easiest area to fix.Comment

yeah I have that same area except it's in the front lol

Just starting to rust on the bottom hinge mounting point, behind the hinge's mounting plate. The top was not quite as bad, but much harder to access.
The Cause. Water leaking down into the B-Pillar. It would also rust out the section where the B-Pillar meets the Rocker Panel, eventually as well. I have to find and stop the source of the leak, before I fix the rust, or it will be back again.
