Thank you Joseph, that's much appreciated.

A quick update,

Most of know that the universe is governed by certain laws, no not that Stephen Hawking physics stuff, the real laws. Things like why when you drop a piece of toast on the carpet it always lands buttered side down, (a phenomenon increased by a factor of 10 if there is peanut butter or jelly involved), or why when you’re in a traffic jam the other lane always moves more quickly, until you switch lanes and the one you were in starts moving more quickly and the law of repairing trucks……..why does the rot always go further than the repair panel.

Well such was the case with the inner rocker/floor repair panel, the rust went about 2” further.

Actually it's easy to fix as there's plenty of access,

I made a repair piece to match the existing panels as closely as possible (I do hate patches that look like patches.)

The inner welds need tidying up but should be fine once that's done

Next job is to put the door back on before I test fit the outer rocker
