I got under the car last week while on a hoist and had a chance to really inspect it. I couldn't believe that I'd missed it before but the underside of the rocker panels were almost totally gone!! It has 150K of Michigan weather but wow, this is bad. The rest of the car is in great shape.
So, the question to you is: Does a totally rusted out rocker panel effect the vehicle? Should this be repaired? Thoughts, comments?
