Ford ContourFord Contour combines sporty driving dynamics with the comfort and practicality of a four-door sedan. It doesn't have the rear-seat space of a Taurus, but Ford improved rear legroom and revised the styling. Contour SVT pours on the coal with a higher output version of the Duratec V6, a sports suspension and bigger brakes.
So I am a total GIRL when it comes to cars, even my own. So thanks to great tech, I have found this website.
Heres my question - the panels underneath the doors(that run the length of the car) on both sides are rusting, are those something that I can replace, and if so what are they called?
I have looked around online hoping to find some sort of idea, but NONE!
Unfortunetly at the current moment my car is getting fixed as the timing belt/chain thing whatever yeah broke I guess, and the car stopped working. Which really stinks its a 99 but it just hit 54000 miles and is in wonderful shape but thats getting fixed so I want to fix the rusting part as well.
Then take it to a body shop. If it has raised plastic molding, then those can't rust, but can be replaced. If it does not have plastic molding, then that is steel down there and technically can be replaced, but it means replacing the whole the whole part. Why not just have a body shop cut away the rust, treat the left over metal, and tack weld new steel on there, then prep and paint.
