Rust treatment stuff -- recommendations please!

"Krycek" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Umm, sorry, but that looks as if it's coming through from inside, via a crack in filler or similar from an inept accident repair?

What age of Golf?

you need another door

Dinitrol Converust available from Frost Auto Restoration.

The other option of course is to live with it. Which is what I'd probably do...

Pull all the internal door panel off, clean out any dirt and crap that is probably holding moisture from the rain that goes down the window seals everytime it rains and brush engine oil all around the bottom. Slap a bit of grease in the corners too if you like. It won't make the outside look any better, but it won't get any worse. If you care about the car, I'd do both doors while you are about it and make sure the drain holes in the bottom of the doors are clear.

And that won't look a load of shit?

I wouldn't have thought so, if done right.

Pretty much what i did an sure enough there was a thin layer of s**te down there holding moisture.

In the end i uses some phospheric acid based rust converter (Rustins i think) primed it and painted it with Hammerite and on my black car it is hardly noticeable -not that i care anyway, i just didnt want it rusting.

I laced the inside with hammerite too as i thought that oil and grease may just hold more s**te in the long run....

So far soo good, but im not too bothered about cosmetics.

Is that a patch welded on the sill as well... just below the line of the door edge?

Looks that way, the previous owner must have had that done.
