Suggestions on body work

this winter when my car in in the garage, i was planning on doing some body work, i have some pics if you could give me some suggestions





theres also some rust on the bottom of the doors, a small dent on the top of the drives side fender, and a slight ding on the passenger side fender, how can i get these out, i was thinking of coating the underside of the car with por-15 (er wutever its called) cuz its a little rusty under there too

Use BONDO on the smaller dents. On the door you should be able to take the interior door panel off and massage the dent out and if you cant get all of it out then use BONDO over whats left. I would put the por-15 under the car.

with that idea in mind....weld from the bottom. Take the panel off, weld from the bottom, and use some resin to fill in the height difference. Once the panel is off, you don't have to it to dad, take it to any welder and fork out the almighty 10 dollars.
