The front door is probably not too bad, but this one is a big repair.

I pretty much have a policy of always replacing the bottom section of the door skins on older cars.

the thing is rare spares don't do any door rust repair sections so making it a lot harder of a task, and like I said if I have 4 doors that are in door enough condition i'd prefer to use them.

I know at least one of the doors has a hole in the bottom of the door, i'd prefer to repair that (out of sight) than the skin if I can get away with it!

Wow that sucks I thought they had pretty much everything for Holden and fords. I went in there the other day for a valiant part and they had brand new HK/T/G GTS guards and brand new XY guards.

That’ll make life easier and you can clean up the bottom of the door frame and seal it properly at the same time

I know with my XP Sammy RSP is worth avoiding. There are other places that make replacement parts like with you above mate that are much better quality :)
