Besides the rearquarters, the Passenger side door is probably the worst part of the car. I'm glad I don't see it often :).

Probably the main reason why I drive/cruise in the curb lane, as no one can pull up along side the car ... :)



Again, let's see how much damage I can do here ...

I was unable to get the camera from work for a few days and that weekend, so I don't have really any pics of the work I did ... altho the door is far from finished, as I think I may go get some filler and try to make a corner for my door. As well I need some lower-grid sandpaper and try to clean up the very bottom some more ...

Did pretty much the same work as I did on the drivers door, sanded it down, primed it ... didn't like it and resanded it and reprimed it a second time. Finally was happy after the 3rd attempt.

So far so good, I think it looks alot better ...

As mentioned above, I still have some work to do along the very bottom of the door, as well as that front corner ...

When and if the car ever does go to a body shop, I would have the doors re-skinned anyways ...

As always I went picture-happy taking pictures of the stages of the door, but somehow my camera screwed up, and I lost ALL the pictures of my work in progress. This isn't the first time this has happened to me .... I'm gonna start using a digital camera as well as a film camera for backup ... GRR!!


Unfortunealy the top part of the door didn't come out well at all, infact it looks like a terrible putty job. I tried to wet-sand it down and try to smoothen it out, but it made it worse. Of course the paint is off a little from the front fender, but from 20 feet back, it looks mint!

I'm just gonna leave it for now and try to tackle it later, when I get motivited and have some time to do it again.

Atleast it looks better then before I started ...
