Over the years my car must have been jacked up from every where except the jacking points. All sorts of dents on the bottom of the car. I may try to pound a few of those out from above.
On another topic, is there some sort of insulating circular donut that fits under the shift gear gaiter to keep out sound, heat and dirt? It looks like I have an old, dirty dish rag wrapped around the bottom of the shift gear to serve the purpose.

Mine is also a double lip. Part is the floor pan the other is the outer sill (or rocker as it is known in the US of A). If it has been hammered so hard it is probably best to pre-heat before bending - you need to get it pretty close to red hot which will of course kill the paint work.
There is a bit of foam that goes around the shifter - I think I got a new bit from VP - If I did I'll post up the part number (but it was only a bit of open celled foam so could be replicated.
