Are the rocker panels where you jack the car up on (with the OEM car jack)? I;m tired and can;t think straight.

yes the two jack points are on the pinch weld and the outer skim from the lowest point up to almost the door sill and from front wheel well to rear wheel well is mostly gone.

I can't use the stock jack and jack point so I was going to get a smaller trolley hydraulic jack for flat repair.

I need to fix the body to pass inspection etc

I actually asked a shop 3 years ago when I was getting a repair done, and I THINK they quoted me ABOUT $700 to install a new one, on one side.

Talked to the mechanic at my college today (His wife has a '96 Camry), he said the parts new should be around $200 each side, but the $ is the actual labor for welding.

Peter, you should be able to obtain them new at your local Toyota dealer without an issue. If you have a problem, let me know, and I'll hook you up with my local Toyota parts guy here in Stamford, CT.
