Rust work on passenger door + starting fix for fender

//Rust work on passenger door + starting fix for fender
I realized there was a high spot in the new front passenger fender that was dented outward. Not sure if it came like that or was a result of me bending the inner flap away from the door. The door edge was lightly rubbing on the inner sheet metal flap when I opened to door so I bent it slightly forward.
I grinded the paint and tapped the raised area in a little to prepare for body putty.
The passenger door was also very rough with some rust and a heavy body fill done from a previous life. I grinded away a lot of it to clean up any rust.

The door jam around the passenger door had surface rust also so I wire wheel brushed it clean and put two coats of rust oleum rust reform and seal. {CAPTION}
