Default What's Wrong With The Frame?!

Hey guys,

I noticed this a few weeks ago, after I purchased the car. The bottom panel of the car (sorry, not very car-savvy) is bolted properly on one side, but uneven on the other side.
I'll let the pictures do the talking:


You can see how it's not properly bolted, and how there is also a rust spot here.





These last two pics are from the other side of the car (passenger side), and you can see how its lined up and bolted fine.




Anyone know what I could do to fix this?

I'd remove your silver rocker molding first. By the look of your pictures it looks like your fender just got tweaked a little. Newer Monte fenders are somewhere close to 22 gauge metal I'd guess so they are able to be pulled a little. Try loosening your bottom fender bolts and physically pulling the bottom of the fender back out until your door to fender gap looks even. Just be careful you don't pull too much.
