doors

[sickrabbit]

What is it with passenger doors - they seem to rust on the inside at the bottom so much more than the driving side ( take a look - I,ll wager you,ll see an obvious difference - a local scrappy pointed this out to me) I,ve sorted a nice rust hole last year in this area , and now have sadly found that the rust seems to be back - but this time slightly on both doors , so I used underseal to hopefully protect em . Anybody else tried this method ?

Passenger side is kerbside, and kerbside is where all the puddles are :wink:

:oops: I was never loved much as a child...in fact I,m sure I was dropped as a baby on pourpose ...seems to have had a strange affect - but I cant THINK what.....


At this rate , it looks like next summer I,ll be saying a cheerio to me Nova if my Isa ,s mature enough...it seems to be a constant battle of rust n repair , that the rust is winning . Praps its time to put the money into a more beneficial set of wheels..........

On mine the drivers side was rusted considerably more than the passengers side. Here's the beaut:

i wish i had ov took pics of my drivers door before i cut it up. the hole bottom end of the dor was duck taped together when i bought the car was so funny to see.

i must admit the bottom of my passenger door is realy bad too. that bad that when i shut the door the bottom still sticks out about an inch off the car lmao!

theres this stuff called waxocil sommit like that made from hamerrte try that stuff its like thick gunk :D

[-tucny-]

iv always found that the drivers door rusts more. must be that i dont have many passangers :cry:

the last drivers door iv got was perfect everywhere with the exception of the middle of the bottom. when i hit it with a screw driver, it went straight through. just cutting the middle out at the mo and welding a new section, rust proofing it, coating with polyester resin, joint sealer and waxoyl. id like to see the twat rust again then!

i dont have ANY rust! :lol:

My drivers door is rust-heaven :?

the entire bottom half of the door is rusted through, I have blinking white duct tape over the outside so it actually looks ok from a distance.

I have two new doors (rust free :!: ) which I will fit before I have the car re-sprayed

[burgo]

actually i find with all the novas ive seen that the drivers side rusts more. the passenger side is usually rust free

both doors on my nova were rotton, the drivers door was botched with wire mesh and about 3 tonnes of filler, and the door skin on the passeger door was comming off :lol:

problem starts with the mastic that seals the folds from outer to inner panels being compromised - usually around the drain holes.

I rebuilt both the bottoms of my doors in fibreglass and theyre solid as feck!
