Passenger Side Rocker Panel Rust Repair - Cut and Weld Patch

Body/Interioradvanced✓ OP Confirmed

Problem

Significant rust damage on the passenger side semi-structural panel (rocker/pinch weld area) midway between front and rear wheels, likely caused by someone improperly jacking up the car from that point years earlier. The rust had progressed deep enough to compromise the structural member and had begun spreading to the frame.

Root Cause

Improper jacking point used by a previous owner caused damage to the passenger side semi-structural rocker panel, which over time led to severe rust-through that eventually spread into the frame.
