All the doors I've seen had that undercoating. I think it was sprayed in as a sound deadener but don't quote me on that.


Thanks. Either way, it stays.

I got back to working on the doors today. On the right (original) door that meant welding shut the hole the PO drilled for an aftermarket mirror, and then opening up the stock mirror hole and chasing the threads.

On the left (donor) door I have to replace some rusty sections of the weatherstrip channel flange along the lower edge. The worst spot is at the rear curve.

Today, the hero tools were the Dremel with mini cutoff disk, and the die grinder with small ball bit.

Here's the door with the long rusty sections removed.

I did realize that these sections no longer have any connection between the door skin and inner panel, so added some short weld beads.

Time to fit the replacement strips. I made these from heavier 18 gauge so they better the original double thickness.

Well, that's it. All bent and rusty metal (that I know about--cross fingers) removed and replaced. 3 different lists completed. Here's the last one.

I have been busy with my annual battle with mice in the crawl space under my house, and building a short section of fence between my garage and street, party to screen all the utilities on the wall that is the "front" of the house.

The fence also creates a place to hide junk over-flowing from garage and yard.

Now that those other chores are nearly done, back to 914 work. Coming soon: bumpers!
