Rust

Evening everyone,

I have a problem with rust on the inside of both rear doors. It's along the bottom currently and I'm worried its going to spread.

Is this a problem I can fix myself? If so any tips would be great. If not does anyone have a rough idea of how much it will cost if I take it to a body repair shop?

Cheers

    A quick sand down and a dab of rust cure will work a treat.

    A careful spray with primer, colour matched paint and lacquer will be all you need.

    As it's not a place where someone will normally look a perfect finish is not necessary unless you prefer perfection.
