I took off my rocker panels and found a huge pile of dirt around the jack hole. After cleaning it, I found 4 small holes in the driver's side.
How should these be patched: weld a rectangular piece over the hole (or all 4 of them) OR weld a piece flush in each hole? Or does it even matter? I will have to take it to a place, so I'm assuming I can drive the car without rocker panels, correct?  |

I would start wire wheeling that area and the area under it and start poking hard. Cutout affected areas and replace with good steel. That does not actually look that bad, the jack post looks solid.
I think a decent metal guy could fix it in a weekend.. |
