I pulled my rockers for the first time today. This is what I found on the passenger side. It is a hole about the size of a quarter. I poked around with a screw driver and this is all I found. The drivers side is perfect. What is the verdict? Eddy

Poke in the hell hole... that damage is too high up to be 'extremely' local.

CA cars dont rust? Oh, sorry I forgot... check my blog
Its all fixed now and it looks purdy, so dont worry.
Other related issues are at the top of the doors where they meet the sail panel. The gaps are pretty small. Both of the doors gap on all sides about 1/4". But on the top of the door where it comes together near the sail panel, the gap is only 1/8". The drivers window does hang a little with the glass all the way up. So the car has folded some like a taco. The rest of the gaps are fine. So can the long repair be done without addressing the door gap issue or does that need to be fixed first? Second question is do I have to take it to a unibody shop to get the door gaps correct? Eddy

the gaps are normally dependant on the repair of the longs.... |
I saw a photo a while ago where kind of a reverse turnbuckle was fabricated to push the body back to where it should be. Is this what I need? Eddy

If you jack up your car and the door gap changes, you have major flexin the body that requires repair. If there is no change, then the PO when they welded in the patches and never made sure the specs were right on before welding |
More photos please...
Alright, more photos tomorrow. I know how visual this club is...........Eddy

is there a way to correct the gaps? |
Both sides have a door gap at the top of 1/16" not jacked and 1/8" jacked. Door window hang up issues on drivers side only with window fully raised. Which seem weird because the long is perfect on that side. Passenger side door and glass works fine.
this one is jacked

Not sure if this is a separate issue or not but my trunk on the drivers side rides high.
