Right, i bought some doors for my mini and i've half stripped them down to bare metal because there were quite a few layers of paint on them... i found a load of filler in the bottom right section of the door (see pic below) ... so i have started sanding the filler down to see what lies underneath. I think it's just a dint but what do you people think i should do? Should i keep sanding or stop and just filler it up. Or should i take it right back to bare metal and take it to a panel beaters and see what they can do?

Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

What isn't wrong with them. lol. Well there's practically no bottom to the door and the skin has juts come away from the bottom due to rust and theres loads of little holes in the skin.

But am happy for the £20 i paid for em.
