FJ 40 Driver Side Door Rework (2 Viewers)

[Storm Ranch]

Had rust on bottom of door so cleaned it up, hit it with self etching primer, then Bondo and then thought to myself...opening and slamming all the time will probably make Bondo crack and fall out so painted over it w/ Herculiner which hopefully will hold it all together. Any thoughts?

It looks like you might have closed up the drain holes?

They were not present. Was going to drill them. Where should they be?

they reside on the seem at the very bottom of the door. They are more slots than holes. I'll take a pic for you.

This is a Real Steel patch (other door hasn’t been done yet and, you guessed it, is too rusted to see what should be there) but mimics the original drains. There are two.

That’s legit.
Main thing is to keep them clear and open.
I’ll periodically squirt some HD marine grade Corrosion X up in there.
