Is this serious damage? Was told this was "frame damage", but wanted to get some other opinions.

Passenger side:


Drivers side:





Thoughts? I'm wondering if I'm totally f&#@$ed or not

Thanks guy!

Looks like some one jacked up on weak spots of the frame rail. Happens to cars all the time. It'll be fine don't worry about. Just looks ugly.

Same thing Quilem said. I'd just weld on some metal plates to re-enforce that area and call it a day.

Lmfao I just made a thread on this last week. Mines 1000x worse buddy. My floor pan in the back is bumped up its so bad. Spray it with something to prevent rust and ignore it. It's not serious.
