2. i dont reli have any idea how i should go about tackling the worst bit on the car. will i hav to pay for someone to weld it up because obviously i dont wont to dump the worlds supply of filler in ther or is ther some other method i could use? heres a picture

from looking at that picture i am thinking it is the passenger side front, looks to me like for a proper job its gonna need a new door step, a panel ans sill for starters, thats if the inner sill and the flitch panel and the bit the door bolts onto is all sound, pattern parts are cheap to bu but if you want weld then the price will no doubt rocket,
