take it to a body shop or buy a new door unless you can weld panel beat fill and paint your fucked. cheaper to get body shop to do it and get a better finish.

depends on if it can be patched up and filled if you get a new door and paint it your talking 150+ vat

if you patch it up and repaint your talking maybe 100
if i was you i would get a door from the scrappers for like 25 quid then get that painted or try find the same colour door then your quids in.

Needs welding really buy the heat can warp the panel with it bein so thin, could put tape over the hole on the outside and a thick coat of fiberglass filler on the inside, let it dry and take the tape off and fill the hole with some more fiberglass, then rub down and fill,

I suppose it could come out but use that stough at work and i dout it, would protect it anyways, obvs make sure toi grind any rust back and put some primer on after the fiberglass
