If its started to rust you're in trouble. More than likely its rusting
from the inside. It will need extensive body work before you can paint
it and expect it to last. For now, there is some excellent shit called
RustMort. Its a liquid you brush right on the rust and it penetrates it
and turns it into primer. I did my old Blazer with this stuff and it
lasted a long time. You gotta use lots of it and give it time to dry.
Its not pretty or recommended for a permenant repair but it will help
keep what metal you have left. Now, the other thing. More than likely
the rust is all around the wheel wells and door but still under the
paint and can't be seen. So you treat whats visible only to have the
rest make a show later. Best bet, is a die cutter or plasma torch. Cut,
cut, cut. I hope you have lots of money. My car has sat in primer for
over a year because bodywork and paint is fookin expensive!
