To replace the sills I removed the door.The door post has a "fat" spot on it's side face approx50mm deep.This is obviously caused by rusting between double skins.Not being intimately familiar with minis how is this constructed so I can make an informed opinion on how to proceed.I do not want to embark on a restoration,but a sound repair.Thanks Steve..

Steve have a look at Project Paddy in my signature, about halfway through or a bit further you will see the build up.

I couldn't get my head round how the A post was constructed and found this video on Youtube very helpful.
I hope Sean C won't mind me linking this. His content is very good and delivered in his own inimitable style.
