Take the rocker panel off and see what you got.
You may want to think about learning to weld.... |

Probably your best bet would be to have some of Brad Mayeur's chassis stiffening kit put on the car. Not concours, but a great way of shoring up a weak chassis. Could be a DIY install, but if you have any doubts of your ability, have a pro install it.

That kind of flexing on the passenger side is common w/ rust, time, accidents, etc... Having it on the drivers side is not common & if it's the same cause then parts will be difficult to obtain. You need surgery, & I'm willing to bet you have cancer (rust). All is not lost, for this is a car & not a person... a car can be made to live forever. Might have to get yourself a parts car. Just takes $$$!
Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |
