Rusty Door :(

My passenger door is getting rusted out underneath the piece of trim. I was thinking about removing the trim and repairing the damage, but it might be a lot of work. I'm going to need to drive it through a couple more Ohio winters, so it might be pointless to do anything now. Has anyone done this? Is it a better idea to just try to find another door?

I can get a door for around $25. My door got dinged in by a fire hydrant. Busted out the window. Now I have one electric window. If your car is rusting the first thing you should do would get rid of that rust. 1 1/2 years ago I didnt have any rust on my fenderwell. Now my fender well is holy. And not in the good way.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

it's best to stop the rust rigt now if it is small so it won't get worse.
