Underbody damage repair
So my Coupe was obviously jacked up improperly by one of the previous owners, and as a result the underside near the jacking points and middle of the car are fairly messed up. Is it possible to repair these areas and still have the be structurally stable for jacking or should I just live with them? Any idea on how much I'd be looking at to have them repaired? I plan on taking it down to a shop to see what they think, just wanted to see if anyone else on here had repaired something like this before.

they aren't really repaired, they get replaced..and it aint cheap..
if you can live with it, just pull out the interior and try to even it up with a BFH..other then that there is not much you can do except replace the entire rocker panel.

Re: maybe not a 90...but some cars you can..w/ removal of floor board.
What did you mean by BFH? The damage definitely goes into the cabin. I can feel the raised up areas of the floor under the carpet.

Doesn't look like a mis-jacking to me, looks like my rocker's did after a cliff dive...
This is what a mis-jacking looked like on mine...
