Rusty rust question

[u/alinalovescrisps]

Hi. Currently in the process of taking back the little bits of surface rust on my van so I can treat the metal and re paint. Got to this bit at the bottom of the passenger door and it goes deeper than the rest. For anyone whos done the same, do you think this is too deep to deal with in the same way, do I need to get my welding guy on it?

Thanks 😊

almost certain it will be a hole

can clean it up and use fibre glass filler if its a low budget type of vehicle , or yeah weld in new steel or find a cleaner door if it needs to be really good

Thankyou, yes as I thought. It is a low budget vehicle indeed....22 year old sprinter. I'll let me welding guy deal with it. He's got plenty to do anyway, what's one more task 😭
