Floor pan rust

[Michelle]

Well you all are prob over hearing from me of late but, I am now trying to decide the best plan of attack on cutting out this rust, you will see a rough line I have scratched in the floor and have included some under shots too, should I cut the whole peice out, make it to folow the under chassy (for easy welding) or make two sections? I need to the whole length along the door getting as close as I can to the side (lots of small rust holes)

Cheers Michelle

X2.... Maybe see if you can score cut outs from someone scrapping same model or wreckers

just did mine not as bad as your tho remember to put a jack under the rocker pannel or the body will slump a bit when you start cutting

have the same issue but mainly confined to my body mount locations will be welding in a thicker plate to strengthen when i fix mine to give a bit more strength for body blocks

A guy at work rekons he cut out his rust then fibreglassed the new piece in, bit of bog and paint, and it will never rust again!

Just a thought

Cheers!

Wouldn't the fiberglass crack due to vibration and body flex??
