Rust at bottom of doors

Hi everyone,
I have found a huge amount of rust and corrosion on the base of the doors, I know this is a common problem with old land rovers, the main problem is with the drivers door. I was wondering if there is a good solution to this problem and if it structural, the drivers has completely rusted away so what is the best solution.
Yours Sincerely Burtie

weld a new section in is the usual solution

Buy replacement doors.

The problem with buying new doors is the price of a new one, they are very expensive and I would have to replace all of them

As mentioned above get repair sections and do it yourself or if not there is a company that do them for around a £100 per door.

You want these

I bought some last year and got the welded in, they're a good fit

Every time I shut mine a new price falls off! There are real rough! Just gunna weld new sections in when weather improves!

Give it a good dose of WD40 and rivet a patch stiffener over the corner, with the top bit held by the bottom hinge bolt.

Mine has lasted a couple of years now and although I have the repair channels I haven't got a roundtuit yet

I keep my keys in a round tuit

Look on YRM for the repair sections. Not a hard job if you can weld or know someone who can. Back door is a 50/50 as hey are not that dear new so by the time you have paid out for repair sections and done the work a new one isn't far off.
