Are my sills meant to be like this?
If you carefully at the back of the sill where it merges into the bottom of the arch there is a upturned kink. It is identical on bothe sides. Have tried looking at other pics of 3.2's but can't make out if they are the same. Or is the result of some unsympathetic jacking.

There's not supposed to be any kinks.

No kink in my rockers. Straight as an arrow. I'd say you're right about unsympathetic jacking.

Is it on the rocker panel cover or does it extend to the actual rocker? Rocker covers are (relatively) cheap.
If I had to guess, some peckerwood put the pads of a lift under what he thought were strong spots, and went up. I can't imagine someone with a floor jack screwing up one side and then going to the other side to repeat it... |

Thanks for the replies guy's. Just had a closer look and it looks like it's been put on a lift and bent the outer sill covers. Looks like they can be removed easily enough and one of the panel beaters at work can knock the dent out.

A PO did the same to my car and in the process crimped the 2 hard oil lines going to the front oil cooler on the passenger side, you may want to check those just to make sure..

Thanks for all the advice guys. Luckily the hard oil lines seem fine.
