Ranger: 2011 Oxford White RCSB XL 2.3 with 5R55E
I bought an '11 Ranger a couple of weeks ago with the knowledge that both doors had some (typical) rust in them; at the bottom of the doors including the seam. The driver's side is worse than the passenger side. However, there is no perforation, just bubbling.
I am not a fan of bodywork and prefer to let a pro do that and the paint.
That said, what might be the best course of action? Should I....
Am I missing anything? I'm sure a lot of you have been thru the same thing. What did you end up doing?
TIA, Dave.

- Look for rust-free, white doors and just swap them out?
- Look for rust-free door shells and let a body shop use what's required to fix my truck's doors?
- Have a body shop source door skins and fix the doors in that manner?
