looks good man. whats up with your door you dont want to use? i do have a good drivers door here is it dings or is it rust you dont like about your door? i know mine has some dings but if i recall correctly its rust free.

[HOMER]

thanks fred.
as for the door it had lil rust, but mainly thats alot of filler im not happy about this car has littl body work done to it

[4SPEED]

my doors are about the same.  if you find a door that doesnt need filler to make it straight , that door came from a car that lived its life under a tarp.  even the doors when new had waves in them.
I think you did a fine job.
as long as filler isn't used to fill holes, and your using it to make it straight. that's what it's for.   

[y88rick]

this is true. how bad was your rust and did you treat it at all?

[4SPEED]

Mine?  I had very little rust on the inside around the seem sealer at the bottom of the doors, a wire wheel cleaned it all off. washed it , DP, glass filler to make it look like seem sealer.

i bhlasted the bottom of door and filled seam with 3m panel glue the stuff we use to install door skins ans somtimes 1/4 panels
