rust!

[vwmercer98]

rust rust and more rust. i keep finding it. i know the mk3 are unibody so i was wondering if rust on the rocker panel area would affect the car structurally. i dont know how bad the rust is but i do know it has eatin a whole in my floor and the rockers do look pretty chewed up but i don't know if the are just surface rust or just ate up to hell. if they do have holes would patches welded in be good enough and what thickness off metal should be used?

you cna get new rockers from the dealer but they are expensive. don't remember exactly how much off hand. welcome to the world of owning a mk3
