id of thought that it will be quite a big job to repair that as its a strong piece of metal i think, my tip is cover it with votex sills or something, it will be much cheaper.
I know this is a very common problem so im sure you will get n answer.

The rocker panel is a major frame component that will have to be cut off and a replacement welded into place.

It's only cosmetic damage though, just fill it and repaint the rocker.
