“Banana Shaped Door found in Shed”

After the one door seemed to go quite well, I decided to do the other rear door. About 2 minutes into it, I discovered deep filler, and by the time I had ground it all out, found a few really deep grroves down it, and lots of hammer marks, plus the same rusted out corner as the other side. I hammered the creases out as best I could from the other side, but most of it was unreachable, and what I did get to was stretched badly. I’ve never done metal shrinking, so decided to dent it with a picking hammer to stop it “popping”. I cut and welded a repair patch as I had for the other side, and you can see how bad the door was below. This was after I had patched and hammered it!

I filled it where I thought it needed it, and soon realised it needed most of the door skimming lightly, so scuffed it and put more on. I gave this a quick sand, and managed to make it too low in places, so had to scuff it and fill it again. It was getting late, and I was pissed off with it, so I left it to do another day.
