OK the situation is I have rust on the bottom of my doors. More on the driver's side than the pass side. On the driver's side it has eaten away some of the bottom of the door
 The pass side isn't that bad, just surface. I am not one who has body work but I know some basics. Is this fixable by me or should I get a new door or have a shop fix it ??  ??   help

Basicly all i did is driled few more holes in bottom of doors, to let the water run out more free... This would be the easyest way i guess.... as for fixing the rust, sand them down, and take a look in Edo's car fixing tread, day 3 of work - everything how to stop rust. And i would suggest using some of the Anti rust Wax inside of the doors, this would cover the metal more and dont let the water stay inside.
