UPDATE: So 4+ years later this quick repair appears exactly the same. The car has seen plenty of miles, salt, and track time with no ill effects. Obviously, if you have a nice/valuable car go get it professionally repaired but I’ve been busy enjoying this crappy Miata!
Let’s fix my beater Miata. Keep in mind this car cost $1000, so no this isn’t a professional repair. However, this video should guide you through the basic process of repairing rusty rocker panels (or sills) on a NA Mazda Miata (Mx-5) or similar vehicles.

Hello sir I work in UAE can u get me a body repair job
Earned a sub with this video. Thanks for taking the time to show your work in such detail. I'm about to take up some work on vehicles I have, including learning welding and basic fabrication. Now that I'm 40, I want to check these items of my list of things to learn.
Good video, nicely done. Please put some gloves on when you drilling bare metal, if the drills hooks and spins that metal, you will need stitches.
Great video bud, very well done and helpful. The music getting loud everytime it switched to you working killed me though lol maybe future videos you keep the music volume low like when your speaking! Keep up the good work and thanks for the share.
Yeah I'm watching and there's much easier way to do that.
Pay someone 🤣
What gauge metal?
to bad to see the whole movie:(
Bodge! Always Butt weld! 🤦🏻♂️
Everything was on point until the painting part. I wish that came out nicer.
What gauge patch of steel did you use for this?
