Not my car, similar to one of my cars, but common enough it seems worth a chat.
Outer metal for alignment and appearance and then close it up?  |

That shot just scratches the surface.
How far up the outer wheelhouse does the degradation go ? Need to see the bottom too. |

on positive note: the jack point is still there the door line looks straight - how about you put a jack in it & lift & tell us what happens?

Hi guys - thanks for the fast responses.
This isn’t my car so don’t have access to more pictures (it is for sale here but just grabbed the picture as indicative). Can we imagine that it is “only” the are in red for a moment? Thanks!  |

Leaves and dirt accumulates there between the rocker and jack point. Typical issue. You need to dig further. Where did the car spend its life, dry west or east coast?

First pictures not my car - I though it would be similar enough of a pattern that it would be indicative but apparently it is quite individual to the car still.
Here is an old picture of my actual car prior to DPO repair.  |

Thanks @sirAndy .
How are you doing with the fires? Air quality has been pretty bad I know. Is there a correct order to this repair? Outside/visible and then underside? |

Outside/visible and then underside? So far, we've been lucky, there are two major fires close-by but each of them is still about 25 miles away. As for the air quality, the winds are shifting during the day (typical for this time of year), when we get a breeze from the ocean the air is ok, when it shifts around, we get heavy smoke and keep all windows closed. For your welding pleasure, this thread should answer your questions: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=16748 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

That is a very helpful thread - helps me visualize the damage. Never found it in prior searching, thanks for the link.
Glad it isn’t too bad there Andy, fingers crossed. |
