Tim240z Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Get the "rocker panel ends" from MSA or Victoria British and weld in new ones. MSA didn't have one of the sides so I just ordered from VB. MSA never seems to have anything I want in stock. Same price at both places $29.95 each. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ae86drifter Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 what about the rust on the insane of the panel? just clean it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8ZRACER260Z Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 This is a bad area to have rust as there are alot of different panels joined together. Make sure you remove all the rust or it will come back to haunt you later. Cut it out back to good solid metal. This will be easier once the outer rocker panel has been removed. Once you have it all cut out then fabricate the inside pieces out of a sheet of steel. Use the same thickness steel as what you removed. Test fit the pieces together as you may not be able to get to weld them properly if they are not done in certain order. Generally working from the innermost piece out works. Make sure you use a weld thru primer on all areas you are welding and the welding process can create "Hot Spots" where rust can start again. The weld thru primer will help eliminate them. It would also be a good idea to spray body wax inside the rocker when you are done. This is availible at body shop supply houses like Finish Masters. Good luck!
