Why I am waiting to get the windows back from the shop, I decided to take care of some housekeeping items on the doors while the glass is out and the door panels are removed.

There is damage on the drivers were there was a mirror installed and ripped off at one time. To the point that remnants of one of the screws was still in one of braces behind the door skin.

So I wire brushed the rust down to the metal and then leveled the metal the best I could. There are two holes and rips/cracks in the door skin.

So where I could I used a magnetic copper heat sink to weld up all the holes. The copper heat sinks helps to dissipate heat and prevent blow through from the MIG welder. Works a jiffy then welding up holes. I welded as much as I could from the inside out.

Then I finish welding some spots from the outside and then ground everything down.

Not perfect, but good enough for filler at a later time.

Also cleaned, wire brushed and painted various internal door fasteners that I didn't get to last time.

Also, got the gas pedal rod. Thanks Ben!
