So I was washing my car last weekend and noticed some rust, took off the driver side mirror and noticed extensive damage. Anyone have something like this? No other rust on the car. Its a 2004.
My guess is they will have to cut out all the rust, re-weld new metal in, grind it down to match, then paint it all. Is getting a new door easier?

But a new door will need to be painted too...what's the rough cost of a new door. I have a friend who can paint it, so that may help with the cost....
