I've attached a picture of the unibody reinforcement that runs directly under the driver's seat. As you can see, it's nowhere near straight, and it's so bent up that there is a mound inside the car in the driver's floorboard. I have to assume that some body either drove the car up onto something or tried to jack it up from the floorboard at some point in it's life. There is another stoved in section of railing on the passenger side, behind the front passenger seat, but it's nowhere near this bad and doesn't seem to have affected the floorboards inside the car.

Is there any way to repair this kind of damage, and flatten out the floorboard again? The only thing I can think of would be to cut out the bent rail, hammer down the floorboard, and weld in a section of reinforcement.

Anybody have any experience with this sort of thing? How did you fix it? Or is this it time for a part-out?
