        <title>Body repair</title>
        <description> Hello all, I started to sand some good replacement doors and came across some pin hole rust, very small and very few. What would be the best way to repair? Thanks in advance, John</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I’ve re skinned doors. Taking them apart and getting the skin off is fun…..fitting and lining them up isn’t. Lining up a new skin in the established door hole is the worse bit. <br />
Remove the rust from the back side of the skin, cut out the hole and weld up would be how I would do it.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Pooch will correct me if I'm wrong but one of the best ways to find out the extent of any rust is to sand blast and then you'll see how many rust pinholes you've got. In the case of the door I'd do this from the inside out (not outside in). I had my wings sand blasted that way - revealed enough pinholes in the bottom of the dog leg to require a 6&quot; x 3&quot; panel being welded in.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Word to the wise. If you do decide to reskin a door, trial fit it before you tack the skin in place. Once the old skin is off, the door frame can twist and you get to joint the crowd of MGB owners whose bottom rear of the doors does not sit flush.<br />
<br />
I wish the guy who did the door skins on the GT from Hell knew this!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ For what it's worth I re-skinned a door and found it to be pretty easy.  The I carefully sanded (4.5&quot; grinder with sanding disc) away the folded edges of the old skin until the metal broke away. Took of old skin.  Put new skin on and folded over frame with sheet metal hammer.  Tacked with a few welds behind.<br />
<br />
I had little holes behind the chrome.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ The door skin is about  .035  thick.<br />
<br />
If you see  rust  on the outside, that means that .035  of  metal  has rusted  away from inside.<br />
<br />
Like the tip of an iceberg.<br />
<br />
What you don't see is  what's under the water.<br />
<br />
If it is only pinholes  and not  joined up large holes, AND you were able to sandblast the rust  inside completely away,  JDW/s advice  would suffice if you don't want to weld in a patch or reskin.]]></description>
