Default rust!

Can I use por15 and seam sealer for a semi-perm fix on this?



I was going to clean this with a wire wheel and por15 this any thoughts?

Define, semi-perm fix ?
On the bird cage you would be fine,
however the door appears to be rusting from the inside,
that will return, ...the best method would be to media blast then POR15,
inside and out. 69VETT

Sundevil64:
The problem will not solve in the door because i'm sure thre is rust on other side where the fiberglass attach to the metel frame and there the fiberglass will start to superate from the metal.
That what happend withe my doors I took the fiberglass out and fisx the door frames.
See pic's at my 72 garage.
