    Thank you for posting this. So many Miatas are written off as soon as rust shows up on the quarters. They can be saved!

      Thanks! Definitely a reality in the salt belt here. We have fixed much worse then this.

    Most of the shops don't even want to do this jobs . They consider is not worth they're time or they will charge more than the car worth . Great work .

    Older video but very helpful and gives me confidence to tackle our project. Have a rusty drivers lower rocker/quarter. Luckily all others look good.

    Thanks for posting this it could be helpful. If you ever attempt this again there is a button on the dash, right below the hazards that will put the headlights up.

    Tempted to try some of this on my own but not having a lift makes the job super super annoying and also I have no metal shaping skillz. Amazing seeing your work in action!

    Man I wish I could have someone do that for my '93. It isn't as rotted with rust in my rockers as this one is, but man... It'd it be nice to stop it before it gets this far gone.

    Is there any keyword or link for the rocker panel you guys used? I spend some time looking for it and cannot find any that looks similar in the vid.
    Also, what kind of welder you guys use for this job? a MIG Welder?
    Thx

    Just out of curiosity, how much do you guys typically charge for a "low budget" Miata rocker rust repair like this? in $CAD. Assuming the same level of rust as the car in this video
