Do you have any wide-angle views of what exactly we're looking at?

got the inner and outer rocker panels welded together and put down some waterproof filler over welds and then will hit it with regular filler to shape it so it will look goodAttached FilesComment

now to passenger side inner rockers. they are rotted and need to be replaced
i think that the problem for these rotting from inside is water coming from door sills step covers the covers are held on by screws and when it rains the water gets in to srew holes. up front water drips from fender bolt near window and if the seam sealer is dryed up it will get into kick panel and then find its way to inner rockers and sit there till it evaporates thats why some times you get water on the floor board near kicker panel this is really annoying when it rains hard this will happen.Attached FilesComment

I'm pretty sure I have that leak you speak of, my floor under the carpet on my drivers side has been wet for at least 6-8 months. Good luck with your repair, it looks like a major pita.sigpic

Was that repaired already? Funny how such a little hole can end up so big with some persuasion of a hammer.~David~

Por15 and Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator & Convertor are your friend here. My floor's were blasted and sealed but I still need to get a better look at the rockers like you did. Rust happens but from what I've seen on the newer and foreign cars, ours tend to fare much much better.sigpic
