WTB: Metal around front jacking point (or rocker cut outs) W124

[dka-66]

I am repairing where the outer rocker is rusted around the jacking points on the front drivers and passenger sides of my 300TE.

I am hoping to find someone willing to cut out the metal around the jack point (i do not need the jack point tube) so I can use it as a repair panel/patch for my car. If someone has a sawzall and wants to go crazy just cutting the the rocker panel out at about 7 inches before and after the front jack points I would be happy with those and can cut them the way I want them once they are here.
I was told that any 190E or 300E would work.

Hoping someone can come through for me, local junkyards are wanting way to much or want their man to do it which just jacks the price up more.

I have plenty of cars to cut up and any excuse to bring out the big sawzall makes me happy.

However. Why not just in fill the holes/rust with body sealer, filler, foam -anything you can find.

Then paint it with POR -15 & then cover it with some rubber undercoating, and then bolt/screw on a set of the 90-95 plastic rockers & side cladding?

Will look better, its cheaper & its easier.

Heck I can even sell you a full set of cladding!! Multiple colors available!

I've got the POR-15 and I am on the fence with the 90-95 rockers and cladding....I am not sure if I want the more utilitarian look of the early wagons or the finished look of the later ones.
As for getting the metal patches and welding them in... I guess I am just a bit old school, I like the idea of cutting out the rusted section, getting it to clean metal, hitting anything that may be lurking in there with a sand blaster, welding a metal patch in, drilling a hole from the inside through the inner rocker, and coating the inside with some waxoyl or some of the Eastwood stuff.
It's a bit overboard and patching it like you mentioned would probably last the life of the car but it would bug me. I am like that with a lot of things, there are repairs or improvements I have made to our (My Wife and I) home that will never be exposed but if I took a shortcut (or what I think is a shortcut) it will big the hell out of me.

...and I sent a PM about the cladding.
