I have an old Uno which is great mechanically but covered in rust. I decided it was time to at least make it look better - I'm never going to cure the rust - so got the sandpaper, filler, primer, matched paint etc and started. To be honest, I thought the roof would possibly go straight through but it didn't. However, the door did. On the passenger side back door, there are now 3 holes about 1.5cm long each just below where the door meets the window seal at the bottom of the window.
Now, I'm female and skint! I don't have the tools etc to put a piece of mesh or metal under the holes from the inside. I don't know how to take the door panels off either even if I could fabricate metal pieces. I can probably get things made but need to try to fit them myself. The only saving grace I have is that I'm pretty good at manual stuff, it's just normally inside my flat.
Is there any way of filling these holes from the outside? I know I'm asking for a miracle. Filler just falls through of course.
Anybody got any ideas that doesn't involve going to a body shop? I know it won't look great but at least I won't have holes in the door at the start of a rainy winter.
Thanks in advance.
