Hi
I have a w124, and the drivers door as well as the 4 wheel arches have rust bubbling through. The drivers door has 3 rust spots just above the side skirt (not sure how far it goes below the side skirt...), all around the size of a 50p piece at the moment.
I am looking to buy a door skin to replace the current one that will need re-spraying etc.
Is it worth replacing the door skin only or will it be easier getting the rusty door repaired by a body shop ?
Also I have been quoted approx. £800 cash price in getting the door, and all 4 wheel arches repaired by several body shops.
Is that a reasonable quote ?
Thanks
