What does the underside of the door look like? I.e. how perforated is it?

Nothing new then, my RR doors were full of rust with the back doors perforated in parts when I sold it.
Whats the yellow stuff? that looks as if its sprayed, and u can’t see daylight so thats good.
So when I got my my disco I took the door cards off and sprayed in waxoyl, plus a few other areas that RR had also suffered, in the disco doors there was already a sort of hard mastic that had already been sprayed in the bottom of the doors at the factory, anyway now 27 years on and still no rust in the doors or the other areas that the RRs & D1s suffered from.

Not at all from what I saw. Will check again.
You mean the orange stuff? Is that rust?
They don't have waxoyl in Australia, but I found this stuff:
Or do you mean a rust converter like this?

There’s loads of stuff available for coating which will help keep oxygen and moisture from reaching the surface.Not at all from what I saw. Will check again.

Waxoyl by Hammerrite has been around a long long while in the UK, it can be sprayed on like oil and then slowly sets as a semi hard wax, I expect most countries have something similar to waxoyl.
Yes orange/yellow on my screen

I'm not convinced much of that is rust. It mostly looks like cavity wax, sealer, dirt and crap.
A lot of the stuff in the seam looks like the sealer between the frame and door skin.
Try a gentle clean up with a plastic brush to see what is really there, then spray it with creeping cavity wax.
I wouldn't go hard on it an ruin the factory sealer, if it IS intact.
Wurth do a REALLY good cavity wax that creeps and and sets up later.

IMO for this kind of thin layer it's enough to spray it well with this kind of product https://www.dinitroldirect.com/product/dinitrol-rc-900 and that's all, i used it on the footwell, it became black and it's still rust free after 4 years without using anything else.
