Corner finished off too so that's all the windscreen surround finished off.

I was thinking of sneaking my car into Kevin’s garage and hoping he didn’t notice 😂

It's not sneaking it in that's the problem, it's to get Kevin to do the work without realising it isn't one of his Grin

Here's an example through the next few posts of how a little "surface rust" is actually and usually the surface of a much bigger problem...
The drivers door had a scab along the bottom of the outer skin and some rust on the underside of the bottom plate..

The holes in the bottom plate obviously mean that needs replacing but on looking inside the door the "surface rust" was on both surfaces!  Grin
So nothing for it but to chop out the outer skin to reveal the horrors inside..

The further along I looked I couldn't see an end to the rust, nothing as bad but still rusted so couldn't be left, so nothing more to do that cut it all off..

Most of the bottom plate needed replacing apart from at both ends where strengthener plate sits, also there was rust up onto the edge up towards the door card aperture on one half so that needed replacing too.

Then finally an outer skin could be fabricated for the bottom 2" or so. Door fitted back to the car along with the wing so I could make sure it went on square and to match the new sill. Use of the clico fasteners means it will go back in the same place for welding once back off the car.

Bottom of the door skin repair panel got a folded flange as per the original skin which is bonded into place, a layer of seam sealer will tidy it up when the primer has dried.

All this effort for a bit of rust on the outside and a few holes underneath. Would have been quicker and simpler to have put some fibreglass filler in rather than spend a day and a half welding it but this way once all painted and treated it should last for years to come.

I presume you will reinstate the three drain holes before painting.
